I think the guys Pimblett has beaten are around that middle to the bottom-end area. In his last fight, Leavitt showed a bit of Paddy\u2019s weakness with his wrestling defense. Paddy is durable and tough, and I think it will be a close fight but I do think he will get it done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Journey Newson, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: I\u2019m going to say Paddy this time because I\u2019ve been wrong about him so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Cody Brundage, UFC middleweight<\/strong>: I gotta go with Paddy Pimblett.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Damon Jackson, UFC featherweight<\/strong>: Pimblett by stoppage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight<\/strong>: I\u2019m going to go with Jared Gordon. I think he finishes Pimblett, too. It\u2019s the year of the upsets and Pimblett loses his hype.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: That is a good test for Paddy but I think he wins and likely by stoppage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Saidyokub Kakhramonov, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: I have to go with Paddy by stoppage.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>Fighters picking Paddy Pimblett: Julian Erosa, Cody Brundage, Damon Jackson, Mario Bautista, Saidyokub Kakhramonov<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fighters picking Jared Gordon: Terrance McKinney<\/em><\/p>\n<p>ICYMI: <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/ufc-282-pro-fighters-make-their-picks-for-jan-blachowicz-vs-magomed-ankalaev-title-fight\/\">Pro fighters also made their picks for the UFC 282 main event<\/a> between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think will win between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon?
