Paddy Pimblett was forewarned about his weight by professional UFC fighters

Two rising stars, Sean O’Malley and Paddy Pimblett, have gotten along well. Therefore, O’Malley warned Pimblett that his current diet might shorten his career and urged his British counterpart to watch what he ate.

Pimblett is infamous for putting on excessive weight when he is away from training camp. ‘The Baddy’ acknowledged that he weighs 180 pounds, 30 pounds more than the weight restriction for the lightweight division.

Alexander Volkanovski, the UFC featherweight champion, claimed to understand Pimblett’s difficulties. The UFC pound-for-pound king, who previously weighed 240 pounds while playing rugby, offered his opinion on Pimblett’s predicament.

“Look, honestly, I hear about people fat shaming him and all that type of stuff, yeah, some people would be… But I think there’s a lot of people that probably care for his health as well, because it ain’t healthy. I know because I’ve been in the same position.”
