UFC star Paddy Pimblett has piled on pounds as fighter scoffs boxes of cookies

Paddy Pimblett is enjoying his time away from the octagon with the UFC star piling on weight whilst his ankle injury heals.

'The Baddy', 28, hasn't fought since he controversially beat Jared Gordon at UFC 282 last December. Pimblett limped his way out of the octagon that night after damaging his ankle in the first round and has since undergone surgery for the injury. Likely sidelined for the rest of the year, Pimblett has been able to eat what he wants as he is unable to train due to still being in a cast.

In a recent Instagram, Pimblett tried different flavours of Girl Scouts Cookies and fans were quick to spot the weight gain in his face. "Jesus Christ bro is huge," one user commented. "My boy ate the scout that was selling the cookies," another wrote before a third commented: "I don't think I have ever seen a fighter eat themselves out of a weight class before."
