Paddy Pimblett Already Up 40 Pounds from UFC 314 Fight Weight
Briefly

Paddy Pimblett, the rising UFC lightweight star, is known for gaining weight between fights. After his recent victory at UFC 314, he confirmed that he has regained 40 pounds and is currently around 198 pounds. Pimblett expressed a preference for his more casual lifestyle, stating he’d rather be 'fat and happy' than strict about weight like his opponent. He attributes some weight gain to larger food portions in the U.S. compared to the U.K., which he finds significant enough to affect his overall fitness regime.
Pimblett stated, "I'd rather be fat and happy than ripped all the time... I'd rather be chubby for a few months, lad, and then not get my head punched in."
Pimblett confirmed he regained 40 pounds after his fight, admitting, "This morning I woke up [at] like 198, which is fat."
He attributed his weight gain in the U.S. to larger portion sizes, explaining, "Just the servings. The amount of food."
Discussing the challenges of his weight management, he noted, "Because in the U.K., if I order a Coca-Cola, I just get that one Coca-Cola."
