Jump to Summary

Paddy Pimblett, a 29-year-old UFC lightweight fighter, has gained 42 pounds (19 kg) since his victory over Bobby Green at UFC 304 in Manchester last month. Known for his significant weight fluctuations between fights, Pimblett shared his post-fight weight gain journey on his YouTube channel, documenting his increased intake of sweets and junk food. Despite this, he has returned to training and stated he is now focused on getting back in shape.

Pimblett's win over Green earned him two fight-night bonuses totaling £156,000 ($200,000) and moved him into the top 15 of the lightweight rankings for the first time. Although he is known for his weight gains, Pimblett has not missed weight for any of his UFC bouts. He expressed intentions to return to the Octagon before the end of the year, with aspirations to fight Benoit Saint-Denis in Paris. Additionally, there has been speculation about potential future matches against lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and a title shot with UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O'Malley.
