@eatshit69_ @ThisIsNotDSP This is early career Belal and whilst in very good shape (he’s a pro athlete) it is nothing compared to the above, where in his mid 30’s his physicality drastically changed, head grew and he becomes good out of nowhere
@Psychaitrist69 Head to head they will always matchup very closely with one another with their styles, though I’d always back a prime Dustin over prime Gaethje. It is how they fare against other matchups, that makes Dustin the much better fighter
@DanaWhiteRoids@Goat0Active Yeah he was. He’s definitely an S Tier elite athlete for MMA but it’s not like he was a superstar Rugby player at the highest level that crossed over
If Paddy beats Green he should call out Dustin, big fight that would get him a title shot if he won+DP might just be washed enough at 36(40 fights) for someone like Paddy to beat.
The path laid out is too long for someone with Paddys skill set to reasonably get through imo😋

@Goat0Active Even Volk, they talk about his Rugby background but he only played at a semi-professional level, which just means you get paid to play your sport. In Australia most good local competitions in are paid to play
@EdwardsSZN_2@RanboGG Not sure who I’d pick in the end but it is very possible. Moicano is so chinny and afraid on the feet now. Paddy sucks as a striker but isn’t afraid to scrap and could clip Money
🚨| Paddy Pimblett has laid out his ideal route to #UFC gold, via @nypostsports:
- Beat Bobby Green
- Beat Renato Moicano
- Beat Beneil Dariush
- Beat a top 5 lightweight
- Lightweight title shot
@RanboGG Yeah it is horrible. If it were Leon v Shavkat or JDM the event would be so hyped. I am excited for this little Belal phase to be done with for good
@Liskahdj @ThisIsNotDSP Perhaps he improved at that point because he only started training at a late age. Balding is also a natural thing that occurs lol
