Paddy Pimblett reveals astonishing weight gain just two weeks after submitting Bobby Green at UFC 304 – and jokes he’ll ‘probably start getting called a fat c***’ following gluttonous holiday in Tenerife
- Paddy Pimblett has gained a lot of weight after his victory over Bobby Green
- The UFC star is known for his ability to gain and lose weight between fights
- He revealed what he did during his holiday in Tenerife with his wife and two daughters
UFC star Paddy Pimblett has revealed how much weight he has gained in the two weeks since he choked out Bobby Green in late July to claim the biggest win of his career.
‘The Baddy’ forced Green to surrender in the first round of their match in Manchester and the crowd chanted his name as he collected a £150,000 bonus and moved into the top 15 of the lightweight class.
Pimblett underwent a remarkable body transformation in the lead-up to the fight, posting photos of himself looking muscular as fans praised his “sheer willpower”.
Yet it seems all that work has been undone. Pimblett decided once again that it was time to be less disciplined, as he often does after fights.
When Pimblett stepped on the scales after a holiday in Tenerife, he found he weighed 19 kilos more than before the competition.

Pimblett weighed 150 pounds before the competition and had grown to 200 pounds within two weeks.
That means he had gone from lightweight to almost fit for the light heavyweight category.
“I’m still a little chubby. I’m not as fat as I was, but I’m still a little chubby,” he said in his YouTube channel after a wonderful trip to Tenerife.
“We ate everything. Chinese, Thai, steak, burgers and sh**. I’m still looking forward to some scrans here. But I just have to train. That’s the main thing.
‘Of course eating a lot doesn’t help, but if I don’t exercise I gain weight.’
‘(I’ll) probably be called a fat dick by everyone!’
During the trip, he took a selfie every day to track the change in his facial structure as he ate.
However, Pimblett returned to work immediately upon his return.

The 29-year-old immediately headed to NextGen to get in shape for his next challenge.
“I’m still looking forward to some scrans here. But I just have to train. That’s the most important thing, boy,” he said.
Pimblett has won 22 fights and lost three and is expected to compete again this year.
