Paddy Pimblett reveals three stone weight gain in just two weeks after UFC London win

Paddy Pimblett has revealed he has put on three stone since his UFC London victory just two weeks ago. Pimblett cut around 30lbs to weigh in at 155lbs for his bout with Rodrigo Vargas at the 02 Arena, and has since added a further stone to that since his victory - whilst he recovers from his knee injury sustained in training.

The rising UFC star put in a memorable performance when he won his lightweight division UFC London fight within the first round, submitting Rodrigo Vargas with a rear-naked choke, coming off the back of his debut win last year over Luigi Vendramini. His triumph against Vargas came in fine style after he was on the receiving end of a big shot from the Mexican before turning it around to get the submission in the first-round.

Along with his exciting fighting style, Pimblett's personality and charisma has seen him gain millions of UFC fans, becoming a household name after just two fights - with fans clearly in attendance at the 02 Arena to see the Liverpool star.
