Paddy Pimblett just jumped from lightweight to nearly light-heavyweight in a matter of weeks — and fans are shook.
After his brutal UFC 314 stoppage of Michael Chandler, the Scouse superstar didn’t just celebrate… he feasted. Ice cream, pancakes, yacht parties, birthday cake — The Baddy went all-in, and the scales felt it.
From 156lbs to 198lbs.
That’s a 43lb swing. That’s three weight divisions. That’s very… Paddy.
🍰 The Baddy Does It His Way
He’s always been known for yo-yo weight cuts, but this one’s wild even by his standards. Just before UFC 314, Paddy shed 14lbs in a single day to make weight. Hours later, he was smashing desserts like it was his job.
By the time he hit Dubai for a luxury break with wife Laura, the man was tipping just under 91kg (198lbs) — casually entering light-heavyweight territory. That’s just 2lbs shy of what Adesanya weighed when he challenged Jan Błachowicz for 205 gold.
🤯 Fans React: “This is Hatton 2.0”
MMA fans went off on X:
- “Reminds me of Ricky Hatton — eventually takes its toll.”
- “He should ditch MMA and go full MasterChef.”
- “This man needs a food show ASAP.”
Even his own YouTube channel showed him tucking into cheat meals before and after the fight. He called it “rehydration.” Fans called it “wild.”
