UFC president Dana White outlines consequences of Paddy Pimblett's weight gain

UFC boss Dana White has warned Paddy Pimblett his eating habits will catch up to him later in his fighting career.

Pimblett, 27, is one of the UFC's biggest stars but he often receives more attention for his diet rather than his fighting. 'The Baddy' embarks on post-fight junk food binges of doughnuts, pizzas and kebabs, recently scoffing down a kebab following his win against Jordan Leavitt.

Following his second UFC win earlier this year, Pimblett went on an 11,000 calorie binge and put on over 20kg in just two weeks. The Liverpudlian kept up the bad habit after his latest fight, weighing over 200lb just three weeks on from UFC London. White has admitted that Pimblett's eating habits make it problematic for UFC matchmakers when trying to book him a fight.
