Paddy Pimblett very nearly ended up weighing in as a heavyweight following a junk-food binge after his last fight.
The lightweight prospect has fought as low as featherweight during his career, including being Cage Warriors champion, but is known for ballooning between contests. And after an intense fight camp for his last UFC outing against Rodrigo Vargas, Pimblett went on an international PR tour, during which he put on a huge amount of weight and ate thousands of calories a day.
He has admitted on a number of occasions that he has no interest in maintaining his ripped physique during time spent outside of camp, and is a big fan of fizzy drinks and junk food. But it almost got out of hand when he was in San Diego, tipping the scales at around 205lb, teetering on the minimum for heavyweight fights.
