For sure, it'd be a shame if no one caught this and he fought again only to die afterwards from internal hemorrhaging.

WOW seems like just a missing factor in the blood wouldnt fail a medical screening. Unless he has to take something for it that might be flagged, I think there sould be something they could do to resolve it, hell the guy has fought numerous times without issue, maybe some legal release?

 

[Ted Williams' head]

That sucks for him. But hey, he got to fight on the biggest stage, he got to win in front of his home Irish crowd, so he has a lot of be proud of.

 

[Super Dave]

Yikes

Yeah but g-d forbid something happens to him. Better to hang them up now and live life.

With Paddy retired, McGregor can drop down to flyweight and make a run at that title

Spoiler: lol

Yup. I liked watching him fight.

That sucks for Paddy. Hope he 1) stays healthy 2) finds a niche coaching or making a living somehow in MMA

Saw this on Facebook.

God damn, lost another Euro too some stupid genetic problem.

I'm not really a fan of the guy, but it sucks to see a guy get forced out of the sport due to something he has no control over.

Wish him the best.

 

[Andrewsimar Palhardass]

Entertaining character, and one of the best names in the game.

Paddy is a phenomenal coach, and he just opened up a gym. I'm stoked he gas something to fall back on, but sad that his fighting days are over.

War! The Hooligan, that's an awful shame.

Agreed. Fun to watch.

He also looked like a starving homeless person at weigh ins. I had a dream of him pushing a shopping cart full of empty cans during a walk out.

 

[PeteyParker]

Very smart on him to retire, what a warrior to even compete with those symptoms. Much respect to Paddy.

 

[dacofty]

I wonder who ratted Paddy out, he seems like a decent guy
