He says he doesn't see a path to a title and he's the last guy that beat the current champ...thank you Paul 💜
That division is deep, had some tough fights ,hes always been up there amongst the top
Because the current champ wont last and paul knows he cant beat the rest.
@@willfull889 casual
@@anse1774 casual havent heard that one before lol . Maybe go have a fight your like a expert swimmer whos never been in a pool.
Good point
Felder’s fights never bored me
Felder can fight
@@ShitWrangler like a boss 💪
I still think about the spinning back fist ko on castillo
I used to like when he fought with a mullet
Big up the irish dragon
Felder always layed everything out there and you could ALWAYS count on his fights to get you hyped. I wish him the best, absolute beast
@Liberals Are Severely Mentally Ill ty for the lesson no sarcasm
Just remember he's actually not a Dragon
@@tunedelement4555 What are you? A biologist???
Realistically he’s like “ya see who’s the champ rn, well I already beat him so...”. Thanks for the fights Paul!
@@ArielBojorquez it's a joke calm down mate
@@ArielBojorquez How many UFC champions have you defeated?
And his mom beat him to when he made a mess so his mom is the ream UFC champ. He wasn't a champ then, beat a champ to be a champ he never did!
@@KingTairun 🤣
He didn't beat him for the belt, so what ever point you're tryna prove will have to hang in the air until 'Do Bronx' first title defense, and I've actually been a Charles Oliviera fan since his debut, but I won't act like he's my fave but after a successful title defense,considering the opponent, he will slide back into my top 7.
Paul Felder has given us so many crazy fights... *You will be sorely missed Paulie, enjoy your retirement* 🙏
How awesome would it be if Oliveriera offered him a title shot?
@@ProtectoroftheRealm that would be dumb, he doesnt deserve one
@@connorwebb1299 that would be really nice, he doesnt deserve but honestly i woudlnt complain lmao
@@ProtectoroftheRealm maybe Beneil Dariush is the winner for championship belt himself against Charles "From Bronx" Oliveira Lost by TKO. (31-9-1)
@@connorwebb1299 no he wasn't because good peformance has enough than other contender fighter ever.
This is a smart person here. Knowing when to quit is the smartest thing a person can do. Tony please take notes.
In Tony’s defense, what else does he have to fall back on?
@@NoHandlzz he was a commentator for fox before lol
Tony v felder retirment fight 🙏 two legends fighting one last time
@@nicholassvensson371 no
@@lrod1887 Was he good at it? Just a question tho, no offense.
Felder a guy that was beatable but nobody wanted to fight. This guy would take a piece of you with him even if he lost. Legend.
One of the most underrated fighters in the UFC. He was really technical and super, super tough. The fact that he survived multiple submission attempts from Oliveira and turned it around to win is a testament to his style and tenacity. I'm a big fan and really happy he retired when he's still healthy and didn't try to push harder if he wasn't 100% committed to fighting. I'll always watch his fights. He gave us some great ones!
Hooker barely made it out of there with the W and hasnt been the same since.
They don’t call winning against him the “Felder curse” for nothing
Lmao. Islam Makhachev destroys him
@@ismaelerroussi9704 Ok, so?
You can see it in Bispins eyes that he has so much respect for Paul’s speech
Well, one of them anyways.
Sorry, low hanging fruit.
They’re good friends it’s a tough moment for Paul but Michael understands they’re both fighters and Paul was a very respectful fighter who always had exciting fights im sad he’s retiring but I’m happy that he is in a way because he can realize it before it’s too late. It’s nice that he’s gonna be around still doing commentary he’s one of my favorites
Eye***
Oh, I thought you were gonna say so much eyeliner, the UFC makeup crew is going HAM on these commentators
@@aidossocratis1813 I’m dead😂😂😂
Paul Felder is an Absolute Legend! Thank you Sir, For allowing us to be a part of your Career! One of the realest guys out there, and ALWAYS came to fight!
@Renaldo Matadeen Boooooo
@Renaldo Matadeen Get outta here nerd. He is a fan favorite with incredible heart and skill. If someone wants to call him a legend than so be it.
@Renaldo Matadeen NERD AND VIRGIN FOR SURE
Dudes not a legend. He's just a top 5 fighter who never won the belt. He didn't even fight for the belt. Lol I guess everyone is a legend when you watch pro wrestling.
@Renaldo Matadeen FOH. The guy is a legend in more eyes than just mine...
Paul Felder realised he can make more of a living as a commentator than as a fighter slowly losing brain cells... Enjoy your retirement Felder 😁🙌
Sadly true...for most still competing.
50k per ppv
Not like you can't do both
Unfortunately, you'll make more money doing almost ANYTHING than fighting in the UFC, unless you're like one of 5 people in the roster....
Sucks not seeing him win a belt after all these years but congrats on your retirement Paul💪
I don't know if I could really see him beating any of the current top 5.
It’s nearly impossible to win the belt no shame in that
Still , not many people can say they were the number six ranked fighter in the world for their weight class .
@@MrRobjs83 Well he has a win over the current champ. I know Charles has improved alot but it shows felder was a great fighter
@@SS-gx9io absolutely he was, never been finished. He still is too actually, both of his last fights were competitive so he could have kept fighting for a few more years if he wanted to but I guess he made the right decision
Pure Class! Cheers... to Felder!
Sucks he’s retiring cause his fights were never boring but at least we’ll still have him commentating!
i dont wanna see him getting busted out there. he's in wars all the time. enough is enough. he had to take this rda fight because he needed the money. he wanted to retire after the hooker fight.
What better way to retire than in the commentary booth where we'll surely see him reacting wildly and calling the fights for many years to come! Congrats on your career, Paul!! The Irish Dragon!!
Paul Felder got one too many fight purse-sized checks without having to get punched in the face. Not in anyway a diss to his talent. Just glad to see fighters making good decisions like this once they find an outlet outside of actual combat. Salute Paul!
I personally wish more fighters got into reffereeing and judging
@@dankykang2429 i wanna see them too, but it's peanuts compared to what they make fighting. maybe if you really love the sport and give back. moneywise it's just not worth it. at all.
He got good at broadcasting so quickly. Looking forward to him on the mic.
Look at Bisping. He understands everything Paul is going through. Godfathers.
Paul Felder is a legend. No reason for him to continue fighting when he is such a great commentator. He is one of the best commentators plus he gave us awesome entertainment in the octagon. Gotta respect Felder!
One of the most entertaining fighters I got to watch.
Much love paul.. you're a man's man and a true inspiration
Congrats to a great guy. Respect to him for going out at the right time and not late
My favorite commentator. Dude always brings so much knowledge and energy to us fans. An amazing fighter who always had exciting fights. But im glad he be with us at the booth. Thanks Paul for everything
Love this guy. He’s always a class act. I’m glad that we will get to see him around for years to come.
Thanks for the memories Paul
One of the most savage strikers the ufc has ever seen
Congratulations enjoy the family time and thanks for all the great fights.
Happy retirement brother! Glad to have him as a commentator now. 💪🏼
Good for you. I always rooted for you. Watched and love every fight. Much respect and thank you.
One of the most entertaining Lightweights with no boring fights! (plus the last to smash the current champ).. We'll miss you Paul !
Respect for being honest with yourself and with others! You are a good fighter
Thank you for all ur amazing wars
how can you not like paul felder the man is so humble and pleasant every time i see him
"hero's get remembered legends never die"
HUMBLE, DOWN TO EARTH AND A CLASS ACT
Thank you and happy retirement bud a badass 😎
Respect to felder wasn't a fan at 1st but hjs style grew on us all,, wat a warrior
Class act, thank you Paul!
Felder really did have a good career. He was always one of my favorite fighters cuz you knew what he brought to the octagon. Always entertaining. Also, one of the best at successfully implementing a muay thai style in MMA. His elbows and knees were vicious. Extremely dynamic striker who never failed to entertain. Congrats on a great career.
Best wishes sir. Happy retirement. So happy to see you fight always and would be a great time hearing more from you.
All the best you champion, always went out and put your heart out there with amazing fights, enjoy the retirement mate
Thank you for all of the wonderful memories and all of the incredible fights, you're a true legend. I've been watching you a long time!
