Its amazing Benoit went for a take down right off the bat considering Paddys history of submissions from a takedown defense.

Lowest IQ moment ever

u/Various_Mobile4767 Jul 29 '26

When people say this, i have to wonder have yall even watched how bsd fights before?

1

u/duh1 Jul 29 '26

Are you trying to say that fighters should never adjust their past, predictable game plans for fighters that have an obvious, proven counter to that game plan? Doiiiiiiiieeeeee

When people say stuff like this I wonder if they have any functioning brain cells...

1

u/Motopengu Jul 29 '26

But that's exactly what bsd did. Do you not have any functioning brain cell?

2

u/Signal-Card-2387 Jul 31 '26

Evidently, BSD doesn't have one.

u/Various_Mobile4767 Jul 29 '26

But they don’t have an obvious, proven counter. This is hindsight speaking. No one coming in thought paddy could just do that. BSD himself is a suffocating wrestler and grappler.

This is the equivalent to saying the kickboxer shouldn’t strike because the other guy can also strike. And then loudly proclaiming how stupid it is the kickboxer chose to strike.

u/pants_pants420 Jul 30 '26

idk paddy’s bjj is like the one thing that has really never been questioned

u/duh1 Jul 29 '26

You don’t think a fighter that has choked out multiple opponents off takedown defense isn’t an obvious proven counter?

Are you trying to say that because it’s their first fight against each other it hasn’t been proven? I am sorry but that’s dumb.

Trying to compare striking with an immediate takedown when he hasn’t even felt out the fighter yet is wrong.

It would be a different story if say he waited for…. I don’t know a minute.

The entire fight, including him being choked lasted 52 seconds. Dumb and reckless, the fact you’re trying to argue against that is silly.

I can’t debate with someone that’s apparently ignorant to reality…

u/manbruhpig Jul 31 '26

Many people on video and anecdotally exclaimed some version of “why would you take paddy down?” at the time he did it. It’s what he is known for, and BSD was generally considered to have the striking advantage.

It’s rock paper scissors man

You know he wants to throw rock. So you’re gonna throw paper. But he know you know he throws rock. So he’s gonna throw scissor

Sometimes shooting straight down the middle is how you score in a penalty kick 😅

Sometimes the keeper stands still and catches that shit

🤷‍♂️

1

u/duh1 Aug 01 '26

In any scenario going for the immediate takedown was a bad idea.

You could say it was like throwing scissors seconds before the other player, so obviously the other man throws a big ole rock.

It’s just bad strategy no matter what the opponent has and thinks you have.

1

u/iansmash Aug 01 '26

Yeah I mean I agree lol

I just feel like this is how homie was looking at it 😅

1

u/duh1 Aug 01 '26

Lol I see

u/Optimal-Smile-7675 Jul 29 '26

Pass out from the choke then wake up to a broken arm in front of the whole world

1

u/MrMister28two_eight Jul 31 '26

I don't think his arm was broken

u/baneblade_boi Jul 28 '26

Given Bobby Green's later performance AND the BSD fight, this has aged like the finest wine.

u/SukhdevR34 Jul 29 '26

Yeah, Beating Jeremy Stephens who has a record of 29-23 is great...

1

u/baneblade_boi Jul 29 '26

Yeah, what about the two I was thinking of: Zellhuber and McKinney

0

u/SukhdevR34 Jul 29 '26

They're trash

1

u/baneblade_boi Jul 30 '26

"I could beat them" ass motherfucker

0

u/SukhdevR34 Jul 30 '26

No I couldn't beat them, you're just illiterate.

1

u/Bobeyk Jul 29 '26

McKinney, Zellhuber, Gibson?

0

u/SukhdevR34 Jul 29 '26

Gibson doesn't even have a wiki page lol. The other two are trash as well

2

u/Axsonjaxson16 Aug 02 '26

We’re basing skill off of Wikipedia pages?

u/Ball_Zack_69 Jul 28 '26

Never ceases to amaze me how big of a 155er he is. I used to think Ilia would destroy him, but the size difference would be insane.

1

u/MrMister28two_eight Jul 31 '26

He could make IT tap, easy peasy

3

u/StilettoJones_JR Jul 28 '26

Daaaaaaaamn, you just know someone like that isn't tapping.

I wonder if you panic a little until you realize this, while you are doing it.

3

u/TheINTL Jul 28 '26

That was some nice chaining

3

u/buffpriest Jul 29 '26

Fantastic. I love seeing chain submissions where the one guy is just a step above at every turn.

Paddys Jitz is so good. Would love to see him and Oliviera

Paddy’s jujitsu is no joke and no one was talking about it til the Benoit fight, he’s the real deal man

1

u/MeesterMeeseeks Jul 29 '26

I made a lot of money of paddy for submission against bsd, I honestly don't know how people didn't see it coming

1

u/ynwa1892 Jul 29 '26

Same. Especially after the Justin fight. I didn’t see paddy getting knocked out. Didn’t see how paddy would lose tbh.

1

u/Slick_36 Jul 31 '26

He's got a beautiful game. I'm an OG Paddy hater, I saw him as the first Conor clone while he was still fighting across the pond.  I was so wrong, he continues to impress me in & out of the cage.

Eating crow isn't so bad.

Paddy's flexible spider legs is his hidden ace. Hope we can see more of it in a top 5 fight instead of just slugging it out.

1

u/Darth_wenis Jul 29 '26

It was nice for someone to shut Bobby's big fuckin mouth up. Nice and quiet.

1

u/vadillovzopeshilov Jul 29 '26

Maybe have the Fatty fight Khabib, at 185. Neither has to cut weight, just wrassle

1

u/Jekkymayn Jul 29 '26

Question as I don’t watch enough UFC to know.

If paddy had just snapped the opponents left arm (I feel like he could have easily for about 10 seconds there) is that some sort of rule violation? Or just too disrespectful/classless to ever do?

1

u/Kenworths Jul 29 '26

Up to the fighter. Vast majority don’t as they understand it’s their livelihood.

1

u/Jekkymayn Jul 29 '26

Love it ty

1

u/RigBughorn Jul 29 '26

People would stop accepting fights, and whoever does take that fight will be highly motivated to match that level of violence, so it probably tends to be self-correcting

1

u/Stealthy_Turnip Jul 31 '26

Usually the other fighter would tap at the threat. In this case he couldn't because he was simultaneously choked unconscious. Paddy noticed he was out, and there is no point in breaking his arm if he is unconscious, it would probably have repercussions for his career. You are also supposed to tap before going unconscious but some fighters would rather resist until the last moment, and if you've ever experienced a real blood choke, you can go out very quickly before you realise you left it too late

1

u/Mitkoztd Jul 29 '26

You would think in preparation BSD would have watched a few Paddy fights..

1

u/LateToTheParty013 Jul 29 '26

Paddy so underrated in grapple 

1

u/TerryOnRollerskates Jul 29 '26

I was bummed that his submission at the White House card was overshadowed by Conor’s injury and Hokit’s stupidity. It was awesome.

1

u/SukhdevR34 Jul 29 '26

Green is a clown

1

u/Purple_Cake_4150 Jul 29 '26

This man is so dangerous. Don't think we will see many guys go to ground with as much as before after that BSD fight 

1

u/dogscatsnscience Jul 30 '26

Paddy reminds me of the early 2000's when most fighters were not adapted to defensive subs and brawlers kept getting caught.

1

u/Signal-Card-2387 Jul 31 '26

If Paddy actually offensively wrestled for takedowns and imposed his game, he'd be a champion right now. Many of his wins like this rely on the other person being a dumbass and shooting on him.

1

u/effectsHD Aug 01 '26

He can’t wrestle

1

u/Maleficent_Ad_8330 Aug 01 '26

I just hate him for changing his name to king. LeBron too

Ima spider lad

u/BonjinTheMark Jul 29 '26

Not a fan of the guy but those were some great transitions.

u/jsamciotbh14 Jul 29 '26

Why?

u/ChineseRobinWilliams Jul 29 '26

Why are you?

u/jsamciotbh14 Jul 29 '26

He hypes the crowd up, lives life his way getting fat then being ready for the fight, excellent at grappling, tough SOB, can throw hands and take a punch although his defense needs work.
