About
The Irish Dragon - a spinning-attack striker turned beloved UFC color commentator.

Paul 'The Irish Dragon' Felder was one of the most entertaining strikers of his era at lightweight - a creative, spinning-attack specialist who turned his fights into firefights and racked up bonuses for it. He beat quality opposition like Edson Barboza and Charles Oliveira but never quite cracked the title picture in a brutally deep division.
His career ended on one of its most memorable nights: a short-notice five-round fight against former champion Rafael dos Anjos in 2020 that he lost by the thinnest of margins. He chose to retire there and reinvented himself as one of the UFC's most respected and articulate commentators. Fans loved the violence in the cage and have embraced the insight at the desk.
Why fans love Felder
Exciting, creative striking, all-action fights, and a genuine, articulate presence that's made him a fan favorite at the desk too.
