According to Chael Sonnen, Paddy Pimblett isn't just popular—he's a genuine superstar. In this breakdown, Chael explains why Paddy "The Baddy" has become one of the biggest attractions in the UFC. The energy inside the arena during his walkout was unlike almost anything Chael has ever seen. Fans were on their feet, celebrities were reacting, and the atmosphere felt bigger than a typical co-main event. Chael even says Paddy is the kind of fighter who inspires the next generation. He's the guy kids watch and say, "I want to do that. I want to be like him." As for what's next, Chael believes there are massive fights waiting for Pimblett.

He also mentions a fight with Max Holloway, though he isn't convinced the UFC will make that one. One prediction Chael is willing to make? Paddy's days as a co-main event fighter are over.
