Henry Cejudo commented that he is not sold on Paddy Pimblett and Sean O’Malley, acknowledging that yes, they are entertainers but questioning if they really are the best fighters.<\/p>\n

In a YouTube podcast with The Schmo<\/a>, Cejudo was asked about his thoughts on Paddy’s stardom compared to Sean ‘Sugar’ O’Malley and said:<\/p>\n

“To me, if you want my honest opinion, I think they both still have to prove themselves. I think Sean’s got more talent, but I think Paddy ‘the pimple face’ has more grit. If they both had a little mixture of each other, that would be the perfect combination.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing Henry Cejudo said:<\/p>\n

“Sean needs more grit, he needs more of the ability to embrace pain. Patty needs more technique, super wide with his punches, he’s kinda like a little jungle boy out there fighting. When you’re talking about stars, you’re just talking about popularity.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sharing his personal opinion, he finished by saying:<\/p>\n

“Like me as a fighter, I’m looking at every angle man, yeah you can entertain but can you really fight. Can you go up against the best, can you prove me wrong in a fight where I think you’re really going to get beat up. When I see that, that’s when you really earn the ‘Triple C’ respect. As for right now dude, both of them are just entertainers to me.”<\/em><\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Paddy Pimblett (18-3 MMA) is riding high right now after his performance at UFC London where he defeated Rodrigo Vargas (12-5 MMA) in front of his hometown sold out crowd at the O2 Arena.<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley (15-1 MMA) last fought at UFC 269 in December 2021, defeating Raulian Paiva (21-4 MMA) in the very first round<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are you in agreement with Henry Cejudo that ‘Paddy the Baddy’ and ‘Suga’ while entertaining, are not really the best fighters?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
