Paddy Pimblett is done cutting weight and is prepared to enjoy the fruits of his labor. In the past, Pimblett has spoken about how he gains a ton of weight after fights because he loves food so much.
“I genuinely think I’m a food addict. I think I’ve got a bit of an eating disorder because of MMA. The weight cuts, dieting, I genuinely think I have a bit of an eating disorder. People when they go eat with me they are visibly shocked at how much I can eat.”
After his UFC 314 win, Pimblett said that he was ready to eat a ton of food again because he’d rather be fat ripped and happy than ripped all the time.
“I’d rather be fat and happy than ripped all the time like Michael Chandler. It didn’t pay off dividends for him there. Respect to Mike for staying in shape all year round but I’d rather be chubby for a few months and not get my head punched in. Than be ripped all year round.”
A few days after the event, Pimblett was seen already eating an insane amount of food while still in Miami.
