Conor McGregor's SHOCKING Injury, Holloway Wins, Paddy Steals Show; Ariel Helwani UFC 329 Reaction
What was said
"Paddy Pimblett's the biggest star of the night. Paddy Pimblett's the one that came in there in a high-profile matchup where people were doubting him and going, ah, you really probably aren't at this level, you lost to Justin Gaethje. Paddy Pimblett is the star of the night."
Paddy Pimblett choked out Benoit Saint-Denis unconscious via D'Arce choke in the co-main event, stealing the show on UFC 329. Analysts declared him the successor to Conor McGregor's star power and called for an immediate title eliminator against Ilia Topuria. His walkout was electric, his performance flawless, and his post-fight interview pitch-perfect.
