Paddy Pimblett discloses how heavy he gets by next Friday after an event

Paddy Pimblett won both of his UFC fights and was additionally awarded a 'Performance of the Night' bonus. There’s no doubt that the lightweight fighter has all the credentials to become an MMA superstar. However, his unhealthy lifestyle between fights has been a significant point of discussion.

While addressing the media before UFC 274, ‘The Baddy’ was asked about his weight gain. The reporter asked how much weight he would put on within a week after the fight.

Paddy Pimblett mentioned his last fight at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall and admitted that he gained about forty pounds by the Friday after the event:

"By next Friday I was about 87, 88 kilo. So about, what, what's that? About 190, 195 [pounds]. Something like that, yeah… I think I went back in the cage about 175 [pounds]."

Keep in mind that the lightweight limit is 155lbs, which equals about 70 kilos.

Pimblett’s love for junk food was apparent during his recent appearance on Food Truck Diaries with Brendan Schaub. A picture of ‘The Baddy’ stuffing his mouth with a hamburger, taken from the show, went viral.

While he may be criticized for his food habits, the Englishman has been a fan favorite since his Cage Warrior days and carried that forward into the UFC. He was welcomed enthusiastically by the fans at UFC 274.
