Paddy Pimblett has gained 42 pounds since his victory at UFC 304, where he defeated Bobby Green, showcasing a trend of significant weight fluctuations common in his career. After weighing in at 156 pounds before the fight, he returned to training at nearly 198 pounds, revealing his post-fight indulgences on his YouTube channel. Despite the dramatic weight gain, Pimblett has maintained his six-pack abs, claiming he prefers being 'fat and happy' over staying constantly ripped. He has expressed a desire to fight again soon, possibly targeting opponents like Renato Moicano and lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. While Pimblett's weight gain has drawn criticism and concern about its long-term effects, it hasn't hindered his performance in the octagon thus far. Fans remain curious about how he will manage his weight as he aims to rise through the ranks of the lightweight division.
