Paddy Pimblett has continued his post-fight eating habits as he weighs above 200lb again just three weeks after his UFC London win.
Pimblett, 27, picked up his third consecutive UFC win last month by submitting Jordan Leavitt in the English capital. It marked the Liverpudlian's second win of the calendar year having submitted Kazula Vargas at The O2 arena in March. Just like he did after that win, Pimblett has gone on a food binge following his win as 'The Baddy' has put on 45lb in just a matter of weeks.
Whilst speaking with Manchester United legend Gary Neville before his latest fight, Pimblett said he will ditch his eating habits when he gets older and starts to face tougher competition in the UFC. Whilst revealing he currently weighs "around 200lb“, Pimblett doubled down on his weight loss comments by telling reporters: "When I’m a bit older and once I start fighting ranked opponents, I will keep my weight down but for now, I enjoy putting a little bit of chub rub on."
Will Paddy Pimblett's post-fight eating habits eventually catch up to him? Let us know in the comments section below
'The Baddy' had promised to keep his weight down after his second UFC win, but went on an 11,000 calorie binge and put on over 20kg in just two weeks. Despite stacking his fridge with easter eggs, crisps and doughnuts, Pimblett hit the 156lb mark for his win against Leavitt. The fan favourite has put all of the weight he lost back on again, as he faces another big weight cut down to the lightweight limit for his next fight.
Pimblett's training partner and sidekick Molly 'Meatball' McCann will fight at UFC 281 in November, but Pimblett ruled himself out of fighting on the same card because of the tax rate in New York. With the UFC targeting their final pay-per-view event of the year on December 10 in Las Vegas, Pimblett is hopeful of competing on the planned UFC 282 card.
"I think I'm going to fight in Vegas, that's what I'm hoping," he added. "I'm seeing the card getting slated for December 10th. Everyone wants to fight me because they've all got less than 100,000 followers and I've got 1.8 million or something like that.
"I'm also not a very scary dude so people think 'I can beat him' and then when you get in the cage with me and you've got to solve the puzzle, you can't."
