Paddy Pimblett has already gained a ton of weight after his UFC Miami fight. After beating Michael Chandler, Pimblett revealed that he planned to eat a lot because it makes him happy.
“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.”
Hours after his win, Pimblett was seen eating a ton of food on a boat to celebrate defeating Chandler.
