UFC star Paddy the Baddy has revealed the extent of his insane post-fight weight gain in a new video.

The mixed martial artist, real name Paddy Pimblett, recently celebrated the biggest win of his career after securing a knockout win against Michael Chandler at UFC 314 in Miami last month (13 April).

However the 30-year-old is equally as famous for his post-fight rituals as he is in the ring, which involves piling on an extreme amount of weight in-between bouts, even jokingly referring to himself as 'Paddy the Fatty'.

And the aftermath of his fight against Chandler was no different, with a new vlog from the Liverpool-born fighter showing his impressive appetite when it comes to downing an impressive array of sweets, cookies and ice-cream.

In order to compete in the UFC lightweight division, Pimblett's pre-fight weight needed to tip the scales no higher than 156lb in order to be cleared to compete. The fighter was able to stay within the upper weight limit with ease, but that doesn't mean it's a weight he maintains during his downtime.

In his YouTube video, titled 'Paddy The Fatty Returns?!', Pimblett documents a day of eating whatever he feels like, before revealing the impact on his body.

Between stops at his Liverpool training gym and a trip to the hairdresser, Pimblett can be seen heading to a number of local cafes and bakeries alongside his family in order to enjoy a substantial meal, as well as several desserts.

After a full day of eating Pimblett ended the video by stepping onto his bathroom scales to reveal that he now weighed 90.95kg (200lbs).

Which meant that his day of treats had led to a whopping 44lb weight gain. Impressive.

"That’s after a full day’s food as well," said Pimblett. "And I’ve ate all sorts."

Despite what appeared to be a slightly bloated face from his day-long binge, Pimblett made sure to note that he was still in possession of his rock-hard abs, jokingly telling his followers to 'eat s**t' before ending the video.

Considering that fact that yo-yo dieting and insane 'before and after' images are very much part of Pimblett's brand, you may be wondering how is the MMA star able to pile on the pounds while still having a successful career?

Well, that's all down to help from his nutritionist.

Paddy the Baddy weight loss diet

Pimblett and his team previously dished the details on how he gets in shape in a previous interview with Men's Health, revealing its all about 'turning unhealthy food into healthy food'.

Revealing that his intake while training for a fight was 1900 calories, thanks to protein packed food created by 'The Macro Chef' Joel McCarthy, Pimblett said: "It's not hard. Get yourself in a calorie deficit.

"Why do you think I get so fat? It's because I go from eating 1500 or 2000 calories a day to eating 8000 a day. That's why the weight piles on, and that's why it comes off so easily."
