Paddy Pimblett has weighed in at 156lb to successfully complete his 49lb body transformation ahead of his third UFC appearance on Saturday night.
'The Baddy' faced a gruelling cut down from 205lb for his fight with Jordan Leavitt at UFC London after piling on the pounds in recent months. Pimblett promised not to over indulge on junk food following his first-round submission win against Kazula Vargas in March, but the UFC fan favourite put on almost 50lb in just two weeks after going on a 11,000 calorie binge and stacking his fridge with easter eggs, crisps and doughnuts.
Pimblett has now stuck true to his promise of making the lightweight limit and impressively losing 45lb to ensure his fight with Leavitt goes ahead at The O2 arena. Pimblett features on the main card of the London event before Jack Hermansson takes on short-notice replacement Chris Curtis and surging heavyweight Tom Aspinall faces Curtis Blaydes in the main event.
