Paddy Pimblett Hits Back at Weight Gain Critics

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

​

Paddy Pimblett (23-3) isn’t deterred by critics of his eating habits.


Pimblett is notorious for his binge eating sprees that lead to rapid weight increase right after his fights. The lightweight contender has even been known to have ballooned up to as much as 198 pounds just a few weeks after competing.

While many believe it’s unhealthy to cut so much weight when he has to come down to 155 pounds, Pimblett seemingly isn’t fretting over it.


Pimblett is coming off a technical knockout win over Michael Chandler at UFC 314 last month. However, “The Baddy” was seen clearly heavier less than a month later when he shared a UFC 315 watch party video last weekend.

A fan, although apparently concerned, praised Pimblett’s ability to shred himself in quick time.

“His ability to lose weight and gain it back instantly is amazing to me,” wrote the fan. “Much love Paddy! Edit: All the people offended, I mean this in the most respectful way, he’s a phenomenon. Wish I had a metabolism like that.”

However, another fan predicted that Pimblett’s massive weight cuts will catch up to him with age: “He won't be able to do that forever. Its easier when your younger.”

But Pimblett disagrees and believes he will be able continue cutting weight through hard work and determination.

“I will though. [It’s] called hardwork and dedication,” he wrote. “You probably don’t know what they are.”

I just hope he's not doing it for the gimmick of it at this point.

you mean he's a convicted sex pest?

Coming from a guy who developed disordered eating (binge eating disorder) from weight cutting, I totally understand. That being said, the weight fluctuation not only isn’t healthy and shortens careers but also leads to burnout quicker.

I can see Paddy being a welterweight when he’s older

 

[LEWIS540]

Reminds me of Ricky Hatton, and he fell off a cliff at about 30.

It’s clearly gonna help your longevity if you live like an athlete for 95% of the year.

IMO his lifestyle won't work long term, but have fun in the mean time my man.
