Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett is one of my favorite fighters in the UFC, and after Justin Gaethje humbled him a few months ago, I had to listen to every MMA expert, every keyboard warrior, and every guy who suddenly earned a black belt from watching YouTube tell me, “Errol, your boy is overrated.”

Really?

Well… how’s that crow tasting today?

Paddy walked into UFC 329 with something to prove, and unfortunately for Benoit Saint-Denis, he was the poor guy standing across the Octagon. Fifty-two seconds later… it was over.

Not five rounds.

Not one round.

Not even enough time to finish pouring yourself a beer.

Saint-Denis shot in for a takedown, and Paddy wrapped up that guillotine choke faster than my cable bill goes up every year. Before anyone knew what happened, Saint-Denis was unconscious. He didn’t tap. He took a nap. Referee Marc Goddard had to step in and save him from sleeping through the rest of International Fight Week.

That’s not just a win.

That’s making a statement.

Ever since Gaethje beat him, everyone wanted to tell me Paddy was exposed.

“He’s finished.”

“He’ll never fight for the title.”

“He’s not elite.”

Meanwhile, Paddy just walked into the co-main event and beat one of the division’s most dangerous grapplers… at his own game.

That’s like beating Steph Curry in a three-point contest. That’s like outrunning Tyreek Hill. That’s like beating Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating contest. It just doesn’t happen.

Then came my favorite part of the night.

Joe Rogan handed Paddy the microphone, and instead of playing it safe, he basically said, “Give me everybody.”

Ilia Topuria? Let’s go.

Justin Gaethje? Run it back.

Conor McGregor? Sign the contract.

Max Holloway? Why not?

That’s why I love this guy. He’s got that old-school fighter mentality. No ducking. No excuses. No social media novels explaining why he lost. Just point at the biggest names in the division and say, “I’ll fight every one of them.”

Whether you love him or hate him, you’ve got to respect that confidence.

I don’t know who Dana White gives him next, but after a 52-second demolition like that, Paddy just kicked the door down and shoved himself right back into the lightweight title picture.

One loss to Justin Gaethje didn’t define him.

One incredible night against Benoit Saint-Denis reminded everybody exactly why Paddy Pimblett is one of the UFC’s biggest stars.

So to everyone who buried my guy after one loss…

I hope you enjoyed the shortest apology tour in UFC history.

The Baddy is back.

And he finished the fight before my pizza was even done in the oven.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.

What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.

Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.

My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
