UFC Fight Night 54 (Paddy Holohan vs Louis Gaudinot) from Nova Scotia, Canada

SevereMMA · 28-08-2014 3:48pm #1

Following his wonderful debut win over Josh Sampo at UFC Dublin on July 19th, Irish flyweight prospect Paddy Holohan has today been handed his second assignment. The Dubliner is set to face off against American Louis Gaudinot on October 4th in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Gaudinot (6-3) last fought on March 8th but tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, a banned diuretic, after the fight. His submission win over Phil Harris was then changed to a no-contest and he was given a six-month suspension.

The green-haired Gaudinot is a well rounded TUF veteran who has a notable win over top contender John Lineker and will be looking to return to winning ways following his suspension.

Holohan (10-0-1) has never faced defeat and will have no fear of the step up in opponent as he takes on the number 13 ranked 125 lbs fighter in the world. The SBG student looked better than ever in his last outing in both the striking department and on the floor.

The only issue going into his next fight is the possibility of having to compete without his coach, John Kavanagh, who is also due to corner Cathal Pendred in Sweden on the same day.

“I’m so grateful to the UFC for getting me back in the Octagon” commented Holohan

“I don’t care who they put in front of me or where, I’m going to put on the same performance everyone saw in Dublin.”

Wondering who else they'd get to corner him. Maybe Chris Fields. Ais might be freed up by then. Roddy could also be there or could go to Sweden to be second corner man.

MartyMcFly84 · 29-08-2014 2:16pm

I would say Ais the Bash would be a safe bet. Maybe Clive Staunton, he was in Paddy's corner at the Dublin event.

Loads of great people in SBG to corner, so they will have this covered no problem.

Great stuff. Can't wait to see Paddy in action again. Another double event for the UFC in one day though?

Wow what kicks!! After these first 2 bouts they've have laid down statements that bonuses won't come easy tonight

mailburner · 05-10-2014 12:44am

looks like everyone has gone to bed

paddys up next folks

Lenin Skynard · 05-10-2014 12:50am

Kaledes sent chocolates to Paddy's hotel room and wrote "Pot O' Gold" on it apparently.

Sounds like a real brainiac.

TimRiggins · 05-10-2014 1:01am

Probably the fight i've been looking forward to this week. Think Paddy has the skills to put on a really good show and get the win. Much needed after Gunni losing and Pendred winning one of the worst fights i've ever seen.

EuskalHerria · 05-10-2014 1:05am

For that ridiculous chocolate stunt, I hope paddy knocks him clean out.

Glock Lesnar · 05-10-2014 1:06am

Hope Patches wins, if you can dodge a punch you can dodge a ball

Photo-Sniper · 05-10-2014 1:12am

Paddy has his work cut out for him here. He needed an extra 20 seconds more for that sub

Glock Lesnar · 05-10-2014 1:12am

Daly must be very well respected if she's allowed to be Holohan's main cornerman, looking forward to seeing her progress on TUF

Wrongway1985 · 05-10-2014 1:12am

So so start but took that round

TimRiggins · 05-10-2014 1:16am

1-1 in rounds now. Needs this one

Glock Lesnar · 05-10-2014 1:16am

Stoolgate part 2.

Cost effective I'd imagine too, That round was all sorts of wrong!!

Photo-Sniper · 05-10-2014 1:17am

Hes in trouble lads

mailburner · 05-10-2014 1:17am

this looks bad

cunnifferous · 05-10-2014 1:17am

Comical cornering

Utopia Parkway · 05-10-2014 1:18am

Jaysus took his corner an age just to get him a stool. Ye have one job lads.

Wrongway1985 · 05-10-2014 1:18am

Other corner heard saying "he sucks on the ground".

JacksonHeightsOwn · 05-10-2014 1:20am

This is looking like a bad night for the sbg team. Paddy looking rather average on the ground.

Utopia Parkway · 05-10-2014 1:21am

He's done.

Glock Lesnar · 05-10-2014 1:21am

From now on, if one goes to war the rest of us should just go and watch.

Tonight highlights how special a talent Conor really is.

Paddy has been very poor on ground tonight. Very very poor

Utopia Parkway · 05-10-2014 1:23am

Sometimes Paddy just has to get himself into a better position first. He's constantly trying for subs but if they don't come off you put yourself in some bad positions.

JacksonHeightsOwn · 05-10-2014 1:24am

Well that was a massive kick in the balls wasn't it.

Gutted for holohan, he really needs to work on his overall skill set.

With a bit of luck he gets one of the "of the night bonuses", otherwise that's one expensive holiday for him

raze_them_all_ · 05-10-2014 1:25am

Just seemed to pass paddys guard into full mount at will there

Utopia Parkway · 05-10-2014 1:26am

Never good to lose to a guy coming in on short notice.

Not a great night for SBG cornering anyway.

Wrongway1985 · 05-10-2014 1:27am

Ah he was very bad on the ground alright pity really what shocked me was his inability to dig deep maybe he put too much into first round.
