You know what’s crazy? That Paddy might just be the style to hold a guy down like this to decision..
Should he? No. But that fight will sell. Paddy is fucking huge for 155 but he'll get his lights put out too.
I dont think he's capable. Tuporia just got the better of Charles in the grappling exchanges. If Paddy goes there, I think he gets submitted.
Charles tried to exchange hands and got slept right away. Gave Ilia the range he wanted. Shame but that was gonna happen if it went that way. I think he did try some front kicks and clinch early on but then tried to exchange hands…..
also nice pass by Ilia to temporary crucifix but it also gave Charles the opportunity to scramble which was a risk for Ilia

who has paddy ever held down?
gathje has been talking like if he doesnt get a shot at the title he is going to retire
Shitty but true. Ilia should want to fight the best.
and he’s been getting better.
he brawls and subs. We should feel blessed that we have a long time champ that fights recklessly.
yeah, Van would prob do well vs Kai or anyone that wants to stand and strike. Kai is a better striker than Pantoja but so was Asakura but Pantoja doesn’t care and will brawl you and has the chin to do it and his striking is getting better.
The best matchup for Pantoja is owm team mate Horiguchi. Kyoji’s also getting old now but may beat everyone else except Pantoja. Who knows how their training goes though, Kyoji also helped him train for Asakura as they’ve fought twice before.
Kyoji shoulda returned to the UFC years ago.
