How much weight does Paddy Pimblett lose ahead of UFC bouts?

Since joining the UFC, it seems that Paddy Pimblett's weight gain between fights has attracted just as much attention as the bouts themselves. The Englishman recently revealed that he currently weighs around 200lbs after beating Jordan Leavitt at UFC London last month.

'The Baddy' competes in the UFC's lightweight division, meaning that Pimblett has to cut approximately 45lbs to make the weight limit for the 155lb division. The cheeky Liverpool-based fighter has made no secret of his love of food and he enjoys eating well after his professional bouts.

While speaking to the media at UFC San Diego, the lightweight revealed his sizeable weight gain since his last outing. However, Pimblett revealed that he plans to stop the weight gain between fights once he starts facing ranked UFC opponents:

"Yeah, when I'm a bit older and once I start fighting ranked opponents, then I will keep me weight down. But for now, I enjoy putting a little bit of chub rub on."

Since joining the UFC in 2021, Paddy Pimblett has remained undefeated. All three of the Englishman's fights have come at lightweight, where he's beaten Luigi Vendramini, Rodrigo Vargas and Jordan Leavitt.

'The Baddy' has quickly risen to stardom in the company and has seen himself rise to nearly two million followers on Instagram, which will only aid in getting Pimblett bigger fights in the future.
