my man Felder is everywhere and he's killing it.
Looks super fit too
felder has transitioned seamlessly, from fighter to top notch commentator.Cant think of a poor ufc commentator now.
They ditched the annoying Dan Hardy,and even Jon Anik has now evolved into a top commentator.
Felder vs paddy would actually be a sick fight as welll
the german dragon
what has he killed? Hes boring asf but he is smart
everyone *wants* to be bigger than conor but conor was actually really good and fought at a very high level. glad paddy won his last one but i was worried during most of the fight
No he didn't. Name a solid name aside from Chad Mendes and Aldo on his 145 rise. He has taken on top competition in recent years.
@@yanisbeaudoin7703 uhhh max Holloway? Dustin poirier??
@@yanisbeaudoin7703when Conor beat Dustin, Porier was a top 5 guy at the time I’m pretty sure. When he beat siver the guy was ranked 9. Diaz was really good back then, was just coming off a win against Michael Johnson. In his next 3 fights Johnson would go on to knockout porier and have a very close much against Justin. Also Conor beat Eddie. The same Eddie who right after getting destroyed Conor knocked out Justin and had 2 very very close fights with porier. You may not dislike the man but why discredit him? And Ik Diaz and Eddie were not 145 but why r u only limiting it to that? Even in his 145 run though he knocked out 3 guys in the top 10 and then the champ.
@@sameershafaat1817 Poirier at 145 and 155 wasn't the same. But that was the only guy I figured would beat him back then. Conor did his thing though. Minus the back of the head shots, he did beat Dustin. Siver was old af by then and used to be juiced up. Also way smaller than Conor. Diaz wasn't at 145 and he beat Conor the first fight. Eddie? The guy who left his prime in another org? Who went even on his road to the title and caught rda on a fury to win the belt? Also, not at 145. Because the main comment was of his main rise. Paddy and Conor aren't the same, but the level of competition wasn't that high for Conor on his first run. Not hating, I like Conor. Doesn't change the reality.
@@yanisbeaudoin7703 you must be new to the game…welcome casual fan. Before his title fight with Aldo he fought Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier. 🙄😂
If you are being called “the next Conor McGregor, you probably aren’t the next Conor. That’s what made conors rise so fantastic, there was nothing like him before to compare to, it was all organic
Nobody is calling khamzat the next connor cause he is different but i bet my house that if he beats burns dude will be a megastar
Exactly. Bingo. If you really want to be the next Conor you can’t be like Conor you gotta be unique. and then this kid is saying he will be bigger than Conor lol yeah fucking right
There´s one little thing as well: Conor didn´t fought cans. He went straight for the challenge. O´malley and Paddy are fighting nobodies and think they already have enough stock to be superstars.
@@JohnLennon-yg4ut In reality we don’t know how big the kid is gonna be. He could very well be bigger than Conor, we don’t know. All it took for Masvidal to gain his fame was an outstanding 5 second KO. If Paddy gets some spectacular finishes under his belt his name might be up there with Conor’s when it’s all said and done.
@@JohnLennon-yg4ut Paddy has a blue print to work off - so I think he is next generation.....
Felder would smoke this guy on a day's notice.
Right. I don’t get the hate for Felder. Dude was a beast.
Felder is a beast
His spinning heel kick was dope af
Thanks josh
He lost me when he said „I’m gonna be bigger than him“ about Conor.. My man is delusional af.
I agree, nobody is topping connors influence. He paved the road for all of them fighters.
It's not delusional to believe in yourself🤣. Is he gonna become bigger than conor? No he won't IMO. But if your a fighter and you dont believe that you could beat the incredible hulk on your worst night, what's the point in fighting?
Conor lost his status the moment he was beat by sloppy CTE Nate Diaz. Connor hasn't had a good fight in many a year
@@herbprophet bro you’re a clown 🤡 why you downplaying Conor. He’s way better than paddy
@@herbprophetHe hasn't. Every time he talks, every major fighting media outlet and person he talks about posts about it, (like usman and fighting 170 recently). Conor is still the most talked about fighter in the game and he only has 1 fully functioning leg, hate him all you want as a person but his marketing and his ability to stay relevant is elite.
Really hope he lives up to the hype, because that first fight looked like he almost got derailed.
Have you seen his older fights? Good submission fighter
He got a first round KO, but yeah he got rocked early for sure.
Yup
@@lukeism2 that was my first fight I've seen of him, but he sold me on his attitude
@@stu3775 yeah, that's what I'm saying. He needs to up his defense, to make sure he doesn't get a flukey loss
He actually seems like a nice guy. I was afraid he would pretend to be some goof.
He also does a ton of charity work behind the scenes
No no paddy is a real good guy sometimes childish but its his personality.
I've watched some interviews with him recently and he's won me over. He's genuinely a funny kid that seems to have a good heart.
I love Paddy, he’s so fun to watch and I understand the McGregor comparisons, but I’m still not sure yet of his potential but am excited to find out as he gets more experience. Comparing young fighters to guys with over 30 professional fights is dangerous, Let him be him.
Conor doesn't have 30 pro fights.
His personality no wear near conors.
People across the world love conor.
Paddy is annoying and only UK fans love their overrated fighters, just like darren till.
paddy seems like a 4chan kid lmao
@@silenced7867 people across the world now HATE Conor more like
@@silenced7867 give the kid a chance arseface ffs. 🙏🏽97
He may have glaring striking issues, but having the grappling strength first I think at this point is more important. We've seen so many guys with special talent never get over the hump of defending takedowns. Adesanya excluded
max holloway also
Adesanya lost to Jan's wrestling.
@@HarderScience just stop. Izzy has excellent takedown defense. Jan did great but a champion with a size advantage being able to take down a smaller man in the later rounds doesn’t mean anything.
@@notbad4853 I agree. He does have incredible takedown defense. I'm also saying -- wrestling was also his undoing.
@@notbad4853 Jan outstruck him on the feet too
Personalities are honestly what makes MMA so fun. Everybody in baseball, basketball, football has the same old interviews, same old answers. Baseball especially became ownership of gatekeepers to keep the integrity of the game while guys like trout, ken Griffey jr., and Fernando Tatis are actually so entertaining and flashy and get kids to want to play. MMA on the other hand needs personalities to grow and paddy is 100% spot on. Too many gatekeepers in the fandom of MMA, including fighters, want to get censor personalities and keep it professional. 😴😴😴😴
That’s very true lol
most are ok with it, they just believe theres lines you shouldn't cross like wives, children, and religion
@@vipset87 dont forget Cats and Dogs etc never disrespect a mans Dog or Cat!!
@@vipset87 i think the company and even the people who hate and love them need the ones who crosses that line
Yes but its not fighting and thats what matters not marketing angles. Unless you love pageantry.
I like how he handled the Felder fight question a lot of fighters try to act hard and talk tough to retired guys but he added in "I don't wanna get elbowed by this guy"
Felder would fold him up let's be honest
@@jasond869 felder would get lawn chaired bro
@@AllThings101 no
@I kill an animal for every video joey uploads also no
@I kill an animal for every video joey uploads No one has beaten Oliviera since Felder did.
Ron Weasley
Ya lizard
Leg it
He aint even ginger ya fud 0/10 humour attempt
One problem, Paddy is no elite fighter. There isn't a roadmap that Dana can make up for him not to get beat before he gets to the title. He might not even make it through this fight.
@Billy Jackson All paddy has is a bunch of casuals behind him.
Go compare Paddys Cageworrior's record to Diaz WEC and early UfC record.
You will probably feel like one of those casuals!!!
@Billy Jackson You ever made a prediction off of what you see. Well many analysts that are not company men, say the same thing. He has to many holes in his game to make it anywhere.
The sage noothcutt we need.
Sage Bowlcut
Jay from The Inbetweeners
You guys gotta stop hyping these new guys up so much, comparing him to mcgregor??? Really???
I really hope he gets it done. Keep ur hands up this time lad!
He's fighting someone whos 1-3. Of course he's gonna win, if he doesnt then he's even worse than i expected. He definetly doesnt have anywhere near champion level potential and i doubt he even gets in to the rankings
@@Adam-nx3rv yeah he sucks
The best man child to sign with the UFC since Max Holloway, love how he helps the kids in his community and gives back. Never once forgot who he is or where he came from.
His confidence and ego are incredible
Definitely
Delusion you mean?
@@TheUcHiHaMaD You'd probably have to be somewhat delusional in the fight game.
Ego?
simp
Seems like a lad, still got a feeling hes gonna get sparked soon, then that clip of him saying "I'm a scouser we dont get knocked out" is gonna turn into a meme. yet to see anything to special from the guy, unsure about the hype right now, mad how anyone can compare him to Conor 😂
How is it mad Tommy the sheep
@@danielcostello4064 Because Paddy has looked average before the UFC and isn't remotely as charismatic or marketable as Conor! It's beyond mad!!
Oh dear James doesn’t know what he’s talking about. If he looked average can you explain why the ufc tried to sign him 2 times before he eventually agreed on third attempt? Why were they so persistent James ?
@@danielcostello4064 please
I think the comparison is more with the attention he has got from one fight against no disrespect a average fighter in terms of the best of the best. I agree though I think he's got his work cut out to get anywhere near McGregor achievements. His skill set is very good but nothing I see has the wow factor I don't think the likes of gathje Chandler olivera have much to worry about from what we have seen.
I think I’m the only person who can’t warm to paddy he really annoys me I hate he always says lad
I'm with you 100%. I just don't get the hype AT ALL
@@mobbingjesusvonnazamett6390 I have watched him in cage warriors he was good but not great he thinks he will be better than Conor …. He deffo won’t be I feel the Americans won’t warm to him either
I love paddy he’s literally from down the road 2 minutes walk from my house.. but he will never be bigger than mcgregor no mma fighter will ever be bigger
Conor's name doesn't ring bells. He used to be a cash cow and that's it. Other than that the guy is a fluke.
@@pasthuman your on drugs.. fluke knocking out aldo who was unbeaten in 10 years + , fluke going up a division and knocking out that champion, fluke going up another division and knocking out people at 170.. fluke being the highest paid mma fighter of all time.. fluke taking on anyone anytime at any weight .. pipe down keyboard champ
@@petercoyne8300 yeah what about the last few years huh? He's out of the fight game .. he'll never be champ again. Look what Diaz did to him and nevermind Khabib we all seen that coming.
@@pasthuman He clearly wasn't a fluke lol. He beat some of the best guys at 145 and then had 2 of the most flawless title wins in history. He also fought between 3 weight classes with arguably good success. He's the biggest star the sport's ever had and was skilled at the time.
Is he winning fights now? Nope. Doesn't change how he was performing when he was before.
Side note; he actually looked good in that last Poirer fight. I think he was still gonna lose regardless, but he finally looked good again.
@@WeaniYT His fight career is nothing like that of a GSP or Anderson Silva. He's a fluke in terms of his perceived greatness....he's no goat, not by any means is he that status. Just a loud mouth little munchkin of a man who took everything he was doing from Mayweather. I'm not a fan, never been a fan, and will never be a fan of some shit talker who can't back it up. He wasn't good for MMA...only good for fight promotion that was it.
They are blowing him up too fast, already looking past his opponent. He still needs to win and show improvment from the last fights mistakes
I imagine if you were running the show he would not be allowed to be interviewed.
@@xwhite2020 LOL
Yeh when he gets to an elite level of competition I’ve got a feeling the hype train will come to an end…. Hopefully be a character in the ufc for a long time to come though
I love moments like this when the caption works for me 😂
His answer to Din’s first question was flawless
Din is the weatherman from family guy
@@duck4862 you know his full name is Din Ollie Thomas right?
@@michaelchapman1258 googled it and now im upset
I really wished that was true
@@Steven-mv9nx sorry I had to do it.
God I loved when Paul had the headset on in the beginning and the guy behind him adjusts it and it falls off and Paul’s eyes close 😑🤣
Connor had the suits and looked the par, paddy’s got to sharpen up if he wants to be a big ppv star
Paddy does paddy he’s not fake like Connor
@@Wayne-R- murmurmurmurmur
@@huttanamaihala2276 what does that even mean
He needs nice suits to be a superstar??
@@jamesn2724 exactly mate these must like the fake people thinking a suit makes them special
Yes Paddy, tell us, how DO you attract the 4, 5, & 6 year olds?
🤦
I love paddy but not so confident he’s ever going to surpass McGregor’s legacy
10 years and u'll forget about Conor
@@cryptomike1577 you sound like a scorned woman 😂
@@mufflaps i'm talking about hype about different people. I'm not someone's fan. Its just a fact that in 10 years most of you will forget about Conor's legacy
@@cryptomike1577 how u can forget an spot biggest star?lol
Good luck Paddy keep up the positive attitude.
haha the contrast between Felders t-shirt/jeans combo & Din's Dracula outfit's hilarious.
Bigger than Conor😂
I mean he looks like a nonce. If his looks are anything to go by then he might be big in the same way Jimmy Saville was.
He's growing on me I like the humble side of fighters sorry fans.
he’s honestly grown on my so much I definitely see him being one of or the biggest star in the ufc
About to find out. He almost got ko'ed in his debut.
Talking about getting new contracts lol
@@michaeljordan6628 did you listen to the interview ffs he said if people want him to fight ranked fighters he needs to get a new contract because obviously he isn’t getting paid enough so why would he rush
He got hit damn hard but i didnt see him almost knocked out, luckily that time he wasnt im not saying he wont be if he takes another shot like that
@@jasonthrower354 just saying he's being compared to Conor but Conor smoked everyone (except Holloway) in the beginning
Paddy via 1st round crazy ass submission out of no where
What a well mannered young man. I hope he goes places
lol listen what he is talking about others cultures and countries
@@cryptomike1577 shut your gaf
Paddy is a legend for saying he sold out the arena even tho like 20 ppl are on the card😂
He’s probably right tho. I would pay to see him fight
First time bad in uk in over 3 years nothing to do with saddy lol dana knows this hence why the kids not even co-main hopefully he gets finished or stops fighting no names trying to take safe fights
Lets just do this if you wanna compair out of respect after hes won significat fights paddy is a bad ass though get it paddy all respect to this warrior with alot of talent kick his ass paddy
That moment with Felder was awesome.
I just wanna find someone who looks at me the way Felder looks at Paddy 1:06
We won't see another Conor for atleast 15 years
Conor is miles ahead of anyone when it comes to star power. You need a tonne of momentum and hype.
Paddy has the star power hes just not ready to use it
Yall really out here judging paddy off 1 fight let the man keep fighting and proving us wrong or right we get it mcgregor made the sport what it is today there's more rising rookies so yall needa relax
Paddy stole Felder’s heart with that elbow comment right there. This is why there’s so much hype, Paddy just knows what’s good!
I think ppl like Song Yadong and Bryce Mitchell can easily demolish paddy “padded record”.
How can he think that it sold out in 30 seconds because of him? At this point I would call that delusion, not confidence
cmon ahahah realistically it did 80 percent of the people there are there for paddy its like the mcgregor hype maybe even more at this point of there ufc careers especially with the uk fans behind him
@@giggad942 maybe because I'm not in the hype train, but I really struggle to see why he would be hyped that much... I saw his first fight and it wasn't impressive or anything. The way he acts, I don't find it charismatic... idk
@@giggad942 ufc London usually sells out within minutes regardless who is fighting,ive tried getting tickets for the last 3 london shows and gone within a minute or two
@@theretrobot8629 hes from liverpool he has that rare accent like mcgregor has he has the personality he doesnt try to be like anybody and hes a uk fighter the uk get behind there people to the max especially someone like paddy
@@pistolsoffire32 yea obviously but theres aways someone there who people tend to go more for normally its someone like till bisping maybe edwards but tell me who there buying it for in this event not aspinal could be even dan hooker we all love him but the main star is paddy
Fair play paddy! I see him getting sparked this fight, wish him all the best
love the mutual respect felder got from paddy
Dean looks like Blacula with his suit
When Paddy says he wants more money if he was to fight top opponents Felder felt that
Din Thomas with the swag! Dana's clearly shooting some fat cheques his way and rightly so!
I like Paddy and I think he can be an elite fighter but this all feels so quick. Vargas is too slow though so I think he can take the W if he has better head movement
Paddy has brought a lot of people back ! I am excited like when Connor first come on the scene
Felder def blushin after that last comment
Way to go! Stumble upon a McGregor tribute video and song recently. Have you heard McGregor Irish Hooligan?
Lol reason to watch him fight is he might get knocked out standing and still win
He’s not wrong, everyone does love Felder
Din can’t take his eyes off him 🤣 I’m dying lol
My hero ! What an absolute legend, great role model for our brill city
Like this paddy bit more than usual.
..hes chilled sound lad here
He'll be as big as John Morgan once he retires
NOBODY will ever eclipse McGregor in this sport, he set a bar that is simply to high for anyone to ever come close to.
I just don’t see the star power or undeniability other stars possess. Conor? Not even in the same stratosphere. I guess ppl just like the accent?
💥
I don't see the charisma, let's see if he can fight at least
Paddy is one hell of a good guy makes me proud to be from the north west of England do it paddy
Dean thomas is looking at Paddy like he jealous af
No clue what he said, but he just became my favorite fighter
I only see Adesanya potentially being close somewhat.
None of these wannabe McGregor are close.
Neah,Adesanya,Usman,good fighters but they lack in personality....i mean,i just watched the recent Conor interview,man,the guy is something else.....Paddy will be on Till's star power at most......Khamzat is the most entertaining and and has the chance to be a big star
Conor was something else ..the biggest star is connor then its khabib..I am not sure who follows
Idc what people say about him saying this. Connor was mocked and laughed at when he first started in ufc and was saying crazy stuff. Look at him now.
Is he not laughed and mocked at now? 😂😂
Dont compare conor to this bum
@@silenced7867 lol
@@JJS595 hahaha well he's come full circle
I'm telling you, to the average fan. He will lose tom night. He is all hype, he is not even close to Conor as a fighter.
This is stupid lol
Let see
Cap
Probably, and if he doesn't lose tomorrow he will likely lose once he goes up against a top 10 lw. Paddy's striking defense looks highly suspect
Okay
where did dean get the starship troopers officers uniform from?
Those 3 Americans are probably getting a translation in one ear haha
I haven't watched the video but the title sounds like CTE
I hope Paddy is able to win some more fights
I still need to see more of paddy.
His heart is there. But if he keeps that jaw out hands low trading mentality someone just as hungry with a pinch more composure and technique will put him away.
He's funny and very down to earth and likeable. Would be hilarious to have a beer with. Good Scouser lad
I will wake up in the mid night for paddy's fight
Love this kid he's a gonna be a champion one day for sure.
He doesnt even deserve to be compared to conor
@@ron.hertzberg sure buddy
@@ron.hertzberg But Conor actually looked really good.
@@ron.hertzberg i wouldn't say conor was a joke in fact far from it
@@sealion2029 true. But everyone lauded his cringeyness as un authentic . Then everyone realized that's who he is
@@Fallout7295 not in his skill I ment how he was talking. . . Then people saw him who he was. Not like a Colby heel-turn
No one will be bigger than Conor McGregor - even those who fight and beat him
Boys a wee legend much respect for him already
He’s 27 and has won one UFC fight. How can he possibly be being compared to Conor who, by 27, had done far more?
They're comparing his level of fans and personality at this stage in his UFC career to Conor's. Age isn't a factor.
They both had a huge fan backing early in their career and are good on the mic so people like to hear them speak.
Give a dollar to him everytime he says lad he be rich as conor lol
He’s gunna get slept mark my
Words 👌
I don’t even know who the main and co are . I’m just watching the event for paddy .
“Scousers don’t get knocked out” … reach for the the stars Paddy lad. Your doing our city, country and the sport of MMA proud. From a rock to this stunning diamond. UFC has an absolute gem on their hands. They just need to nurture it correctly to then see it’s best quality. Just need to take their time with him. Good luck tonight Paddy lad… YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE
Darren Till got something to say
He's already bigger than Conner to many.
not even in the same universe right now, doesnt mean he cant become a big star, but has fought one fight. conor is world famous,
@@ceceroxy2227 He just seems to have authentic class and will probably not live his life in perpetual juvenile delinquency, like the Notorious one seems to.
Maybe on Mars
He nailed it that atmosphere was something else … biggest ufc card
I want him to do an audio book
You can always see someone to stop you from self harming.
Gotta love Din in that Napoleone Bonaparte jacket 🧐💥
im surprised he didnt spam the word "lad", only said it a couple times 😂
@believing bruce, in the background with the yellow jacket on
Bucky Larson of mma... did I get the part?
watch him get knocked out tmrw
no one will ever surpass what conor did to the sport imo
I hope you call out Topuria afterwards
Win or lose im with you paddy.
Paddy is awesome, but I dont see him ever being champion at 155. The weight class is just too deep with absolute killers/tacticians.
Why's he talking about attracting kids so much. Is he hanging out with purple aki??
