Paddy Pimblett has been told he can't keep ballooning up in weight after his UFC fights if he is to challenge the best fighters in his division.
Pimblett picked up his third successive UFC win by submitting Jordan Leavitt at UFC London this past weekend. 'The Baddy' kept up his post-fight tradition of eating junk food by scoffing a kebab just moments after his win. It's been a recurring theme for Pimblett, who has gained a lot of media attention for the weight he puts on in between training camps.
The Liverpudlian promised not to pile on the pounds after his second UFC win in March, but failed to do so after going on a 11,000 calorie food binge and putting on 45lb in less than two weeks. Pimblett has been warned by UFC bantamweight Sean O'Malley that he can't keep up his eating habits once he starts challenging top-ranked lightweight fighters.
