Paddy Pimblett told he 'cannot' sustain huge weight gain between UFC fights

Paddy Pimblett has been sent a warning about putting on the pounds in between fights by another up-and-coming UFC star. Pimblett recently revealed that he had put on three stone since his UFC London victory - in just two weeks.

Pimblett cut around 30lbs to weigh in at 155lbs for his bout with Rodrigo Vargas at the O2 Arena in March.

The rising UFC star put in a memorable performance when he won his lightweight division fight within the first round, submitting 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.
