Fans bash Paddy Pimblett over a video
Recently, a video of ‘The Baddy’ getting beaten by various unranked fighters has been circling all over the internet. The opponents included names like Luigi Vendramini, Rodrigo Vargas, Jordan Levitt, and finally, Jared Gordon. Furthermore, the video was hilariously captioned, “Paddy The Baddy Getting Rocked By Unranked Fighters”.
Without a doubt, the post encouraged MMA fans to take over the comments section on Reddit to voice their thoughts. The fans compared Pimblett’s skills with that of many other fighters, including Ronda Rousey. They also wished him to be pitted against several renowned fighters. However, almost every fan seemingly criticized the British warrior.
Here is what people had to say about the video:
- Paddy’s stand up has Ronda Rousey energy, sloppy with zero head movement.
- The left drew dober hit Green would take paddy out. Gaethjes left hook would give him life changing CTE.
- I side with the UFC, Paddy is really good, please give him a top-15 fighter next. Literally, everyone in that top 15 would destroy him.
- The criticism of Conor was that he didn’t have to fight any wrestlers before Mendes. With Pimblett, the criticism is that he didn’t have to fight any actually good fighters so far lmao.
- Next opponent just needs to spam left hooks. Paddy cannot block them.
- Paddy will retire in another few fights. I’m calling it now.
- He has way too much faith in this chin
- It’s hard for me to even tell just how hard he gets hit because of his hair movement.
