Belfast man here, well done to RKID.

Blanchardstown is super super posh. WHAT? Thats hilarious 😂 🤣

Blanchardstown is definitely not posh. A person was shot dead and another stabbed to death in a restaurant there a few months ago. That's hyperbole if i heard it.

It all depends what you want out of your career.. if you want to be remembered as a great, the ufc is your only option.. but if you just want to make a living from fighting because that’s what you love doing.. then there are definitely better options than the ufc, typically easier fights for more money.

The average pay and average contract based off the UFC's profit is probably better outside, it's virtually a known fact at this point. HOWEVER the ceiling is definitely ALOT higher in the UFC.

definitely not, UFC's average salary is much, MUCH higher. PFL/Bellator/One invest more in specific fighters, Doumbe, Hughes, former UFC fighters etc, giving better contracts exclusively to them, which are slightly hyped for the hardcore MMA fan and try to build on them.

This is how we know you know nothing lol, the UFC’s average payout shyts on everyone else. Instead of the average fighters getting paid 5 grand to show and win, in the ufc it’s like 12 and 12 or 16 and 16.

Based on the UFC's profit it's alot worse. The ability to get a better contract outside out of the original contract is a lot harder within the UFC.@@maka3130

Everyone commenting on him choosing the pfl over ufc. When your Irish u don’t need ufc to have the country backing you. The average fighters are well known never mind fighters that fight for major promotions

Paul 👑

The dogs walk about in DM boots in Blanchard's town .

Eric Dier is all tough now?

Blanch is posh? Haha

He's chosen the money option which I get but the opportunity in ufc is higher

Take the money now while youre young. With injuries, fighting can be short lived... All going well this kid will have much bigger opportunities/offers from the UFC as a more mature fighter

Wow the density in this comment section is shocking. All these ufc 🥜 rider sofa tough guys. I only watch ufc myself, but I don't doubt for a second they offered him jack. Good for him for not taking that. The guy is what 26? Cash in, still a massive step up from CW, and if he wants he goes to the ufc later for more money. People are duuuuuuumb man.

He chose to be way less famous for more money. All because of his friend who was left a vegetable

The amount of hometown pride watching this is hard to even put into words, would’ve been amazing to see him with the ufc but it’ll be great to see him smoke some poor fella on the big stage nonetheless.

Ariel is such a snide sometimes. 6:15 Paul just saying he's like to have put his promo out before the announcement and Ariel's question is are you a Type A personality?

It's 100% your choice and best of luck to you, but nobody will know you in the PFL. It's a zombie league. There's practically no ceiling in the UFC. If you aren't willing to bet on yourself and you have a family to feed RIGHT NOW I can't blame you.

never heard of this guy. If he beleived in himself so good he should of go UFC. They would have push him and more oppurtunities. imagine he does.shitty in PFL
