Pimblett, who successfully reached the 155lb (70kg) limit just 24 hours before a unanimous decision loss in Las Vegas on January 25, has returned to Merseyside to enjoy his signature post-fight food tours. However, the 31-year-old insists that despite the weight jump, he is in better shape than in previous seasons.
“I ate well”
In his latest vlog, Pimblett revealed that he currently weighs 86kg. While it is a significant jump from his fighting weight, it is a far cry from the 95kg mark he has reached in the past.
“I weighed myself this morning, I weighed only 86 kg,” Pimblett told his followers. “I’ve been about 90 years old at this stage before. I know the title says I’ve gotten fat again, but I’m not that fat. We’re doing well.”
Pimblett’s relationship with the scales has been a topic of conversation throughout his UFC career. Following his 2022 win in London, the Scouser admitted he consumed almost 11,000 calories in one day. This time, having spent the past three weeks touring Liverpool’s local eateries, he appears to be on a slightly “restricted” all-you-can-eat diet.
What’s next for The Baddy?
The loss to Gaethje snapped a formidable seven-fight winning streak for Pimblett, moving his professional record to 23-4. Despite the setback in his first title shot, Paddy remains one of the biggest players in the lightweight division.
With his weight currently around 190 pounds, fans will be keeping a close eye on how soon “The Baddy” returns to the gym to begin his climb back to the 155-pound rankings.
