Paddy Pimblett is the Greatest UFC Fighter of All-Time
Paddy Pimblett is no secret. He comes from Huyton, United Kingdom and is a bloody you know what. He likes to eat food in his spare time and basically prepare for cage time.
He is the prototype UFC superstar.
He recently defeated the former face of Bellator and pride of Missouri University, I might add, Michael Chandler.
Chandler has been steamrolling with great fights to McGregor, Justin Gaethe, Dustin Poirier but no wins in the handbag.
Pimblett has not put together his wins effortlessly. He has perfected a masterclass in front of our eyes since Cage Warriors.
I knew since Cage Warriors and the uprising dedication that place had in the likes of Luke Riley, Conor McGregor, and Ilia Topuria that Pimblett was going to be destined for greatness similar to McGregor but better and we are only seeing the beginning at age 30.
He possesses one of the strongest MMA IQ’s next to Jon Jones. That says a lot considering these days, Jones has matured into a Heavyweight and taught multiple seminars in his spare time.
The age gap is a huge difference from what is described as an uproar battle for Pimblett whose charisma and theme music scream satisfaction and love from the audience that support the star but most of all from a grappling and submission standpoint.

Why Phil Brooks Delegitimized Combat Sports
Phil Brooks, also known as CM Punk in professional wrestling combated the issue of money vs. spending fun in an octagon for a couple nights and subsequently left the Ultimate Fighting Championship promotion and fans dumbfounded about what would occur next.
Well, he faced Mickey Gall and provided no chance for bet sports books to believe in his opportunity to spar or take down his opponent for a critical submission taught in the Rufus Sport gym.
Punk was in no greater condition to be competing. He delegitimized pro wrestling and boxing.
Boxing is the worst because now fights such as Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley, and other celebrities or MMA star athletes are competing and seeming to gain a better profit than MMA, still.
UFC has fortunately moved past CM Punk, at least maybe, and can persist on matchmaking and devising more successful cards for fans to not be dumbfounded, but to feel they are immersed in the action and understand a good piece of historic promotional revenue, attendance, and better fights in store.

Alex Pereira is Uncaged
Alex Pereira holds an 11-2 record and he has managed to win successfully well against the likes of Jamahal Hill, Jan Blachowicz, and Jiri, Prochazka. Some call him a Brazilian and others refer to him as an overall master by now of mixed martial arts taking over.
He factually took the spot of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler and that did not matter as he pounded Jiri with a kick and finished jabs to the floor for a knockout victory at UFC 303. It was no unanimous or split decision.
It was ruled based on Pereira undergoing prowess and confidence inside the octagon. He went on to win his 8th consecutive fight and extend his dominance in the light heavyweight division and retain the title.
Pereira is likely sharper than he’s ever been and for a while, there’s no named quiet assassin. He is 36 years old but the road does not stop until it becomes trickier almost similar to Amanda Nunes.
Pereira has not knocked down a fierce box office opponent such as Nunes but he has brought a different intensity to the sport and might at some point, face his winding destiny whether at light heavyweight or middleweight again.

UFC 300 vs. 200 vs. 100
UFC 300 is set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. The home and apex of the UFC especially throughout the Covid pandemic. At T-Mobile Arena, expect to see a stacked card from top to bottom. And that means all the way down to the early prelims as some familiar veterans will be featured such as former champion Cody Garbrandt, Jessica Andrade, and Bobby Green and Jim MIller tearing their heads apart in a small mighty clash.
Also, UFC 295 headliner Jiri Prochazka, who was quite obviously disappointed against the main eventer of UFC 300, Alex Pereira has deferred to the prelims along with Aljamain Sterling and Diego Lopes with the Brazilian vying to defeat a ranked opponent within his weight division.
The card most definitely looks good but the interesting fight to watch for is Kayla Harrison vs. Holly Holm and then the decent quality of what the main card will display. Having talked with Rick Hawn when first discovered, Harrison was prominent in Judo and the Olympics and with nowhere else to go. She signed with PFL. Later, now the coexisting partner and owner of Bellator MMA.
She has an opportunity to veer the ship and take a huge step forward in not just women’s competitive sports but the MMA community as a whole. Quite possibly, a celebrity if you ask. She is ripped and worked extra hard for this moment in time.
But in the meantime, it is UFC 300 coming up. How about talking UFC’s first biggest box office at UFC 100? The same place it emanated from was Vegas. One difference between 100, 200, and 300 is that 200 aired live in New York. And what an ordeal it was for multiple years to land in NY.
Also, take into account that Brock Lesnar will not be featured on the set of main or co-main events. It is a different time, and set of circumstances and Conor McGregor will not take his bloody plane back to Boston or Los Angeles or NY for a foreseeable event like UFC 300.
Speaking of which, was Road House compelling featuring Conor McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal?
When asked, UFC fans argue in favor of UFC 100 being the best out of all trilogies but with the personality of Justin Gaethje for starters, and the uproar of UFC’s longevity, is truly special.
