I'm from the states and we'll obviously never meet, but you've helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life with that post fight speech. I lost one of my best friends to an overdose a month ago and was definitely thinking some awful shit about wanting this pain to go away. So, thank you, Paddy

Love you Paddy! You've moved a million men already with just your words! Can't wait to see what you continue to do for the movement!

I've struggled and still do with mental health, suicidal thoughts. I go to gym every day... I'm starting work soon and moving into better accommodation. I've gone through alot and been diagnosed with PTSD. For some reason I'm still here... and hearing you say what you said on fight night made me break down there and then. My prayers to you, his family and friends ❤️

This post fight speech actually made me a huge paddy fan. Gained a massive amount of respect for him using his platform for something that really is so important

This was so heart warming . My husband killed himself this past Christmas, leaving four children behind. Patrick I can never show my gratitude to you talking about this . 🖤🖤🖤

As a female and a 1st year psychology student that struggles with depression, I want to thank you for speaking up about the stigma that men can't show their emotions or struggle with mental health. I really appreciate your powerful words, it encouraged me to continue with my fight and studying psychology. Keep up the good work Paddy and sorry for your loss, remember the good times and what made him great. Love and peace from South Africa 🇿🇦

Top man Paddy, fast becoming one of my favourite fighters! As someone who has struggled myself with mental health over the years, I have even more respect for you after that post fight speech alone, really hope you become champ one day! 💪🏻💯

Paddy My Man, today I was able to talk to my parents about a damn problem that consume me and it stagnates me and I have had to keep going despite this, but sometimes it is difficult because the ideas of take my life come to mind so, I was watching your speech many times and shit I started crying, now i released this shit from me confessing to my parents, they listened to me, i hope i get through this, i want to say thank you as i am a big fan of MMA and a big fan of yours, and thanks to your message I was able to take off this weight. So lest's see what happen.

Respect from Bulgaria lad. I had a friend that killed himself, he always seemed like one of the happiest people, yet he wasn't. When I saw your fight and speech I cried. I kinda felt responsible when he ended it all, for not being a good friend, but nothing I can change now. Thanks for being true and please don't change!

Lost my Best friend last year. Knew him for 21 years. Never would you know he was struggling in his head. He never spoke up. And all of a sudden, when you get the phonecall that he's not here anymore, you start thinking... what could I have done to avoid this? He never talked... Appreciate the messege, and the awareness he brings to this problem.

massive inspiration paddy your changing the world bro massive respect ❤❤

Inspiration to all men and women who suffer with mental health. Ive had issues since I was 12 and it doesn't get easier, you just learn to cope with it. Keep going lad, you're smashing it xx

Mate your the reason I'm still alive and why I chucked my pistol in the creek so glad I was watching KZfaq and seen your speech its hard to admit but I finally spoke to a mate about the pain 8n my head and just thank you mate

I was so moved by Paddys words and got inspired to go get some help for myself. I have had these feelings and urges for too long and been thinkin that no one can help. But speaking helps if you just have the courage to do it. Talk people talk just talk

Never was much of an MMA fan until I saw your vlogs Paddy, recently turned my life around from a bad addiction. Thank you for inspiring every man to speak up. You're carrying this sport. A different kind of entertainment. I hope to see you fight in person one day. You're exceptional mate, can't wait till you come over and dominate the states.

Love it Paddy, the only fighter who’s making the most out of your platform. Solid guy and solid message ❤️

Thanks for spreading the word on such an important topic that gets often overlooked. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

I''ve had a female friend of mine that's been struggling with bipolar for several years and I can honestly say that engaging in the mental health system and keeping her friend network in the loop has kept her breathing on more than one occasion over this time. We have a roster system we kick in when things get really bad to make she she's supervised but it relies on her letting us know when she's on the edge. I've told her myself many times I'd rather I get called out to her place than to lose her. Talking, reaching out, finding ways to get through those key critical moments can't be overstated

Your one in a million man. I suffer from serious depression but thank god I have a twin brother and awesome parents I would never put them through that pain. God Bless hope all is well things are slowly getting better I got me a new job so I can save for a vehicle.

That postfight interview is what led me to your channel. I tried to take my own life in the summer of 2018. It was a super dark time but I was glad I didn't succeed and that I had not only my family but health professionals to help get me through it.. Thank you for saying what you did.

I adore what I know of Molly and Paddy's friendship so much I've started watching UFC. Never cared too much for it before because it seemed more like a soap opera for boys that sometimes fight, but these two warriors make me enjoy keeping up with fighters outside of the ring now. I love seeing them win both in the ring and in life. I'm in your corner, Scoucers, from deep in the forest mountains of Northern California, USA.

you're the best paddy! thanks for bringing this to a big platform, I've been struggling for about a decade. your strength is inspiring!

Im 61 years old, and I'm glad I lived long enough to see that the future is in good hands.

I’ve spoken up and gotten help when I was 18 and was struggling and considering taking my life and it changed my life I am now on solid feet and moving forward in life. Men need to speak up because being honest about how you feel is the strong thing to do be quiet is the weak approach

Kept me going man. I've been struggling for a few years now and am at the end of my patience and will to keep it up. It's tough out here boys. Just keep asking for help and you'll find relief eventually. Hope I find it soon.

When I saw that speech the other week it made me cry. And my parents. We all need to do more for young men- just being there for them is a start Thanks Paddy!

So much respect for you speaking out and speaking up for men! Life is hard enough with the hoops we have to jump through just to put food on the table and paying rent. Relationship drama, and I've been down that road and even signed myself into treatment which really didn't do anything but it was nice to just talk with someone listening. Thank you for being so solid of a good man! Much love from across the pond 🇺🇲♥️

I had tears rolling down my eyes after that speech. No one understands that weight unless they go through it. Keep up the good work brotha.

Lad directly to the heart ❤ finally someone who uses his range properly! we all need to fix this toxic stigma of a man who doesn't cry, who is not allowed to show emotion!! paddy, love ya lad, keep up the good stuff!

You've already changed so many lives. Thank you so much for what you've done to fight the stigma around men's mental health

That speech was so beautiful and moving.♥️ inspiring .

People like paddy who show there emotions will pave the way for men's mental health and men feeling like they can speak openly about how they feel 🙏👊

showing this kind of vulnerability is amazing. Paddy you are an inspiration to us all and I am so thankful that you say what needs to be said. Thank you Paddy

Man I totally feel you Paddy. That first bite of food after the heavy dieting is just snowball rolling down the heel, it doesn’t stop and it just keeps on getting bigger. Keep up LAD!

It is very sad what happened to you. You gave the world the most important message, you did a good job for man, especially men. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope this situation will be helpful and will give others strength to try to fight for themselves. You are big inspiration, big hug for You Paddy 🫂

“Men start talking”❤️ A completely different note I love these 2 energy

This vlog is the best thing on KZfaq right now, constantly checking for new episodes!! Keep up the good work Pad and shout out to blaise for the great camerawork!

Massive respect Paddy❤️ Keep doing what you are doing and you will go down in history👌🏻

Paddy if you see this - you're a legend. Struggled with mental health/suicidal thoughts for most of my adult life and what you did was astounding. Had tears in my eyes. Have a good time celebrating and smash some lad later this year!

bro in tears at the beginning. So powerful. I love what you represent Paddy. Just great.

Paddy you are an absolute legend for speaking up for mental health. ❤️

Respect. I am fighting my battle every day. Thanks for highlighting the stigma on us. All love Paddy

Paddy, you're a star!

Every since I’ve seen this guy I’ve been a fan but dang he keeps the respect flowing in my favorite edition to the ufc of all time

Love this man bringing attention to mental health respect pad ❤️

Before I even watch the video I wanna say thank you Paddy. You got a fan for life brother. Thank you

I guarantee you've saved at least one blokes life with your post fight speech and your willingness to talk about mental health. Your pal would be proud of you mate.

Me and my brother lost our mother this year, now it's just us...no other family left. It's been hard to be positive for us, not trying to give in into depression and keeping each other sane and healthy. Trying to be "hard" just makes the emptiness worse so bless you Paddy for speaking up for those going through rough times. Keep your heads up, love your loved ones and be honest about your feelings. Bless all.

absolute legend.. i got emotional when you said that speech i was waiting for your fight all summer💗

Your so genuine brother... Definitely became my favorite fighter/person 1st time seeing you ...keep it up bro ur gonna make a difference in this sport

Your an absolute legend Paddy inside and outside of the ring. Mental health with men is unspoken I've battled with suicide, severe depression growing up. And for you to bring it out on one of the biggest stages in the world is fucking incredible.. Absolute stonker of a fighter and awesome person. Keep smashing em Paddy 💙

Best message I've ever heard in a post-fight interview. Respect Paddy^^

Being there at London was mental! The roof came off the gaff for you big man and well deserved! Great speech at the end too! Big up lad champion inbound!

Doing us proud Paddy and Mol!!! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’m encouraging the same thing right now cause my friend just committed suicide today and I had thoughts of that 2 times in my life but hearing this message from you paddy encouraged me to keep on living life to the fullest and to seek help from my doctors and now I’m so happy right now

My man, from someone who has lost 6 friends 2 of which were some of my closest friends in the past 3yrs and feels guilty almost as if I regret me living instead of them due to us all living the same lifestyle, and from someone who struggles DAILY with thoughts of self destruction. THANK YOU, I cannot stress this enough you are someone who is meant to not only be a fighter, but a leader and a voice for people. I hope I can meet you, and shake your hand to formally say thanks one day... I Know I will. KEEP FIGHTING, not only with your fists man but the wisdom and strength you show and inspire in others.

Pad ur a inspiration for a lot of young men out there. Keep it up lad

Big ups for speaking up on not only mental health but also the struggles of speaking up about it as a man. Wishing you continued success my man.

So sorry for your loss. 2 years this year since I lost a Brother From Another Mother. 3 of his main arteries to his heart collapsed. Different story. Same pain. Thanks for sharing

Look at this comment section. Men talking. This is what we need. Much love people 🤘

Much respect for showing such emotions and keeping it absolutely real in todays world!

My deepest condolences. You are a class act Paddy!

You the man paddy! Youve helped so many without even knowing it. Thank you for making me smile and laugh. Keep doing your thing buddy!

Good on you paddy you're a true warrior 👍 and you ain't afraid to show that REAL men do cry 💯👊 men's mental health matters 💪 🇬🇧

Thanks for highlighting such an important issue. Unfortunately the funding isn’t there for mental health. The government cuts the money every year. I know from personal experience the back logs and delay in treatment. I’m on a waiting list and I’ve been told it’s at least a year before I’ll be seen. Something urgently needs to be done about this as it’s costing lives. Keep up the good work mate. Thanks.

Love you paddy amazing speech

Paddy is going to become a huge huge star because of the emotions he makes you feel. He makes people happy, he makes people laugh, he makes people cry, he makes people annoyed it's all just going towards him being a massive star

You just make me smile paddy the baddy. Look forward to watching your career continue to blossom

Had a friend who was a Veteran recently take his life. I thought for a long time it was my fault because I never knew what he was going through and he never said anything. I still feel to this day if I had just asked he may still be here. What Paddy said broke me. "I'd rather have my friend ctying on my shoulder than go to his funeral." Fucking right Paddy.

Love you Paddy. Eating like a champ! Your words on mens mental health were remarkable, thank you for everything you do

Lost a good friend under similar circumstances brother. Your message reached so many people. Meant a lot to me as well. Can’t wait to see you fight again. Thank you!

I already liked this bloke. Funny, energetic in a totally not annoying way. And then he’s this open and genuine about this topic. Full respect.

paddy you made me talk i was watching and i balled out crying and i talked to my father

You’re a fucking inspiration! the walk in to the fight to the speech to the walk out was one of the most beautiful and sincere moments I’ve ever witnessed 🙏✊

Can't ever talk & will never talk but just you pair making me smile for a few mins does help ,thank you

theyll never beat us lad, the passion is too storng. this type of energy cant be denied

You’re a real one for this Paddy. We need to start talking. Too many guys are making a permanent decision over temporary pain.

Love you bro! A true legend for speaking about this

The fact that you said this after such a 'manly' event means you've reached exactly the right audience. You're encouraging people to talk, not just men, and you've used your platform for a fantastic cause. Well in lad.

Patty I know loads of guys are gonna tell you that you helped them and others might look on here to troll people that do thank you but honestly I can't tell you in words how much I appreciate you and thank you for giving me I guess the courage to tell my family I need help. After losing everything in a nasty divorce and just feeling defeated and destroyed with it all. I was wishing for death and giving up on life and because of you I know yeah I'm at rock bottom right now but things can only get better and I am asking for help and it's all because of you. Thank you Patty you seriously saved my life.

Thank you so much for your words Paddy. Im going thru it right now in more ways than one and sometimes it feels more than one can take. Youre an inspiration, i love collecting trading cards and Im broke as hell but im trying to save to buy a box of UFC to try and pull a Paddy The Baddy Rookie Card. You truly are an inspiration mate. God bless. Your health is the most important thing in the world. If you don't have your health you don't have anything. Much love.

Love this paddy. So strong for going out there and putting it on. Such an man of his people love it paddy 💪🙌

I have been in mental wards in my past. When I watched you after the fight I told my missus everything. We love u paddy...... And was in Asda and my missus picked up howler head and shouted "DANA" I'm a Scouse acsent xxx

That’s how an honest man speaks…Grow the fuck up and lean on each other. We can all be better humans

Couldn’t love this enough as I’m one of these men that are stuck in the life of this depression and suffer with bad mental health I lost two of my brothers to suicide an a best friend coukdnt respect this enough I could only wish things would change but I’m hopefully going to make a change congratulations in yet another win to you and molly god bless you both keep up the grind big Man U smash them peasants lol 💪🏻👊🏻🙏🏻

true fighter, true inspiration, true hero, straight up love you m8 you would only know how many and how much you help and inspire, you will go all the way and a bit more

Thanks for saying such strong words

That post fight interview had me welling up! I've been in those shoes what you've done is amazing you couldn't have put it any better it helps so many people you can't imagine!

This is how you use your platform and fame the right way. X

One of my best mate committed suicide in 2018 and still to this day I wish he would of just even mentioned how he felt to me or any of our group of mates, because none of us truly knew how he felt on the inside and hearing you talk about how he was always happy and how he was the life of the party really got to me, because that is exactly how my mate was, and to hear someone with your platform and your following talk about how cruel mental health can be it’s inspiring it really is, the best ones always go first, life is a bitch sometimes, big love paddy r.I.p to your mate Ricky he lives in through you mate, all the best pad god bless x

You opening up the conversation of mental health truly makes a difference, thank you

Real men DO cry. Hats off to you pad, you made so many people aware of you for the good you do. Not just the "trash talk" but for the truth you speak, the stigma with mental health needs to stop. Ive lost friends to it. I've nearly lost my own life to it.

Paddy mate what a lad you are listen to this and see it all over and the impact it has had please start a go fund me so I can donate what I can

Had an old friend randomly contact me to catch up last year. He never gave the impression anything was wrong, told me how great everything was going with new career opportunities.. woke up the next day to a phone call from his mom... that was one of the hardest funerals I've ever attended. He hid his emotions so well and never once mentioned his mental health struggles. Knowing he reached out to me but didn't feel comfortable enough to talk about his struggles with me really messed me up. First thing I did was sat down with my close friends and talked about everything I was feeling. Talking about your problems needs to be looked at as a strength rather than weakness. 1000% agree

How do you not like Paddy and Meatball? Just genuine people who just happen to fight for a living. Keep it up, stay humble and watch out for those first round “wake up” punches.

Such an important message. On a side note how contagious is Molly's excitement? Pleased to bits for these two's success long may it continue.

Paddy is an inspiration, that speech has impacted so many and will continue to. Thank you paddy.

Mental health is a huge killer brothers mother's dad's friends cousins uncle's aunties thank you paddy ❤️

Just for that post fight speech you might be one of if not my favorite fighter. Sorry for your loss man and god bless ya.

You are so brave to share the struggle of so many men, it's so hard to find understanding about this stigma that man can't feel weak.
