Paddy Pimblett has gained a ton of weight since his last fight.
Last month, Pimblett weighed in at 155 pounds and faced BenoƮt Saint Denis, winning via first-round submission.
Since then, Pimblett has been non-stop eating. Over the weekend, a beefed-up Paddy was seen eating a Philly cheesesteak during the UFC 330 live stream.

The English UFC star went on to eat more cheesesteaks later.

While speaking to Chris Long on the Greenlight podcast, Pimblett revealed that heās gained over 50 pounds since weighing in at 155 for his last fight.
āI reckon when Iām retired, Iām going to be weighing heavyweight. Iām still fighting now and Iām about 200-205lbs. Getting up to 250lbs is not going to be a bother for meā
Pimblett has spoken about his eating habits in the past.
āI genuinely think Iām a food addict. I think Iāve 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.ā
It doesnāt seem like Pimblett has any fights lined up for a while, and he has a chance to gain a ton more weight before his next trip to the Octagon.
