UFC legend Chael Sonnen has heaped praise on Paddy Pimblett after the Scouse fighter agreed to help Paulo Costa make 185lb.
Costa infamously forced Marvin Vettori to move up an entire 20lb weight division for his last fight after failing to make the middleweight limit, and joked on Twitter that he would hire Pimblett as his nutritionist. The Liverpool native is known for ballooning by as much as 46lb from his fight weight after competing, but he has never missed weight for a bout.
It was Sonnen who originally got Costa and Pimblett involved, when the Brazilian responded to one of his videos by asking "Uncle Chael is everything ok? I got Charles' scale and Pimblett as nutritionist." The Brit responded to Costa's call by saying that he should "get over to Liverpool big man, we'll get you down to 185 in no time chesty!"
