Paddy Pimblett reveals huge weight gain after UFC win and admits he's 'heaviest he's ever been'

Paddy Pimblett reveals huge weight gain after UFC win and admits he's 'heaviest he's ever been'

Paddy the Baddy has been making sure to celebrate right

As well as being a ‘Baddy’, Paddy Pimblett is pretty well known for having mega weight gains in between fights.

And the follow-up from his latest UFC win is no different as the scouser admits he’s the ‘heaviest he’s ever been’.

The 30-year-old claimed the biggest win of his MMA career when he defeated Michael Chandler at UFC 314 earlier this month.

Pimblett gave arguably a career-best performance and some fans might have thought it would lead to a change-up in how he handles himself in between fights.

But he’s clearly not changing his ways and with the gain he’s made this time, he probably won’t be returning to action particularly soon.

Speaking on the IT’S TIME!!! with Bruce Buffer podcast, The Baddy said he’d drank about ‘five milkshakes' after the win.

Pimblett had weighed in for UFC 314 at 156lbs.

And he said on the recent podcast episode: “This morning, I woke up at 198lbs, which is fat.

“That’s about the heaviest I get.”

The Liverpool legend went on to say he doesn’t ‘ever really touch 200lbs’ except for one particular situation - ‘only in the States’.

Known for having a bit of a love for junk food, Pimblett admitted: “In the States, that food, it makes me into a machine.

“I’m just massive in the States, but when I’m back in the UK, the highest I’ll reach is 195lbs or something like that.”

He reckons the large portion sizes and free drink refills means he piles on the weight even more while over in the US.

Now that he’s part of the upper side of the UFC lightweight division, the fighter is hoping to lock in a fight on the proposed Abu Dhabi card in October.

“I just wanna fight," the star explained.

“Whoever that one person is that will get me a title shot, I want that fight. My plan even before the fight was to fight in Abu Dhabi in October.

“I’ve always wanted to fight there. The UFC always do a pay-per-view there in October.

“I just think it would be the perfect time to come back. Recharge my batteries over the summer, keep training every day, keep the weight down, and then go right back into camp in August or September."

Well, with a weight gain of 42lbs since his fight, it seems he has a fair bit to ‘keep down’ before his next one.

But the champ has done it before, and there’s no doubt he’ll do it again.
