Paddy Pimblett Gains Weight After UFC Win

In a thrilling matchup in Manchester, Paddy Pimblett, known as 'The Baddy,' secured a first-round submission victory over his opponent, Green, earning a £150,000 bonus and propelling himself into the top 15 of the lightweight division. The crowd erupted in cheers as Pimblett showcased his skills, marking a significant milestone in his career. His impressive performance followed a notable body transformation, with fans lauding his dedication and willpower leading up to the fight. However, the aftermath of his victory has raised eyebrows as Pimblett revealed a dramatic weight gain. After a holiday in Tenerife, he reported weighing 198 pounds, a staggering 42 pounds heavier than his pre-fight weight of 156 pounds. This rapid increase has sparked discussions about the challenges fighters face in maintaining their weight outside of competition. Pimblett candidly addressed his situation on his YouTube channel, admitting to feeling "a bit chubby" and acknowledging that his indulgent eating habits contributed to the weight gain. Despite the weight fluctuations, Pimblett remains optimistic and eager to return to training. He humorously noted the potential for criticism regarding his weight but expressed excitement about enjoying food. As he prepares for his next fight, Pimblett, with a record of 22 wins and three losses, is expected to continue his ascent in the competitive lightweight landscape later this year.
