But I also think it funny how Paddy started getting hate for not being good, If you like Paddy because you think he was good, You were liking Paddy for the wrong reason and were you watching his previous fights, He's not great, But he's entertaining and that why I like him, Even now, I'm still a Paddy fan as I think he's the same guy

If you don't like Paddy because you find him annoying, Fair enough

To add to my point, Paddy was losing to Jordan Levitt before he got a meme finish in round 2, Also almost got Ko'd by 2 guys I don't remember the name off, If you think he was a top 15 fighter, I don't get what you were watching????. 

And Honesly Gordan look better then Paddy in they're other fights also, Gordan isn't a bad fighter

You are right, Gordon is not a bad fighter.  The UFC thought that he would easily lose to Paddy, though.  Now they need to find some other fighter that Paddy can beat.

Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Volk may have to go back to his greco-roman roots for this one, Yair may piece him up from a distance he is a great kickboxer, but can brawl too, he is Mexican ha... Yeah Volk should win but he may be on the losing end of many kickboxing exchanges... Then again its Volk so he may just bite down and march forward as Yair fades if he does... Whatever happens this is a great lighter weights fights, could be an alltime war, we will have to see

Yair somehow keep the Mexican takeover alive, imagine they have 3

July 8, 2023 has Date Numerology of 4.

Yair could pick up his 4th career loss on July 8, 2023. : )

Volk wins!

Volk is still the guy. Props to Yair turning into the star and reaching this point that many hoped he could reach since making his UFC debut nine years ago.

Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
Poor Gore, finally gets his first UFC win and they're like "How about you fight Bo Nickal next". And he'll probably get cut if/when he loses because 4-3 just isn't a good enough record to be in the UFC
