Felder said Paddy couldn't win that round? I thought he won it. Leavitt didn't land much of anything and while he got some takedowns, he didn't do much with it and was also in some sub attempts.

The scoring recently would indicate Leavitt won that round.
Damn. Was rooting for Leavitt

Paddy riding high. I swear the crowd does so much for these two. The brand just keeps building. These two single handedly saved this boring ass show.

Pimblett looked pretty good in there today. Thought this was a tough matchup for him and it should have been more of a pick-em, but his main weakness is he just gets hit too much and Leavitt isn't the guy for that. Will be a fun guy to follow, wonder what kind of matchup they go with next.

Really? He's well known for submissions. Won most of his fights this way.
Respect to Paddy for talking about men's mental health and all. RIP to his friend.

Leavitt is a good grappler, though. I think a lot of people thought the grappling would cancel out and that Paddy would end up KOing him. That's what I was expecting anyway. Getting a sub was unexpected for me.

I love Paddy and thought it was his fight to lose. Because Jordan was not comfortable in the spotlight. He was nervous in interviews/media obligations, he skipped an interview, had trouble with the flight and being away from his young daughter. Paddy is used to the big lights and the pressure Jordan was not.
I don't think that was the best Leavitt we will see in the UFC but he will recover. I wouldn't be surprised to see him mention a few of those at the presser. No excuse obviously, I think Paddy is better regardless but I don't think Leavitt was as prepared as he thought for the mental side.

Very smart professional fight for Hermansson.
30-27.
The most entertaining part of the fight was right at the end though!

Bad look from Chris Curtis to just get outclassed on his feet by a grappler for 15 minutes and then flip Jack off. Like, dude, you got more than doubled up on strikes.
Talking shit after you did nothing is so cringe. You just had 15 minutes to show a guy what is up and failed.

Curtis is a joke. Got dominated, outstruck and outlanded by a mile. Bad look for him.

Classless from Curtis. Visible frustration, no one's fault but his own. He got a huge chance to fight way above his rank, and had a poor showing physically and mentally. Good job from Jack for going out and doing what he needed to.

Oh yeah the subs I knew about, maybe I should've written wrestling instead of grappling. I didn't think his defensive wrestling and ability to scramble under pressure would be as good as it was.

This next fight might end up sucking, but it's a very important fight. Not just 2 top HW's, but to find out about Aspinall.

Maybe Paddy gets someone like Clay Guida next.
I was looking at the Tapology LW division and there are at maximum 5 UFC guys in the top 50 who I wouldn't favor over Paddy. They'll have to really pick his spots to get a nunber next his name. Strong guy with some power, decent ground game and a good chin but I don't think he has ther natural talent to ever break into the top couple tiers.
