Paddy Pimblett has had one hell of a week celebrating the biggest win of his MMA career.
‘The Baddy’ brutalized Michael Chandler en route to a third-round TKO win at UFC 314 last weekend.
Lightweight’s newest contender let loose with a yatch party in Miami before heading back home Liverpool, England.
Since then, Paddy Pimblett, who is known for his love of junk food, has been enjoying himself.
Paddy Pimblett reveals weight one week after UFC 314
On Satuday, Pimblett sat down for an interview with the UFC’s legendary announcer, Bruce Buffer.
Naturally, Buffer asked the 30-year-old about his notorious weight gain between fights.
Pimblett replied by revealing that he has put on 42lbs since weighing in at 156lbs for UFC 314.
“I had about five milkshakes after the fight, literally,” he said on the IT’S TIME!!! podcast.
“This morning, I woke up at 198lbs, which is fat.
“That’s about the heaviest I get. I don’t ever really touch 200lbs.
“Only in the States. In the States, that food, it makes me into a machine.
“I’m just massive in the States, but when I’m back in the UK, the highest I’ll reach is 195lbs or something like that.”
Pimblett claimed large portion sizes and free refills are the reason he piles on weight while in the US.
Now he’s back home, Pimblett can keep ticking over in the gym until the UFC get him another fight.
What’s next for Paddy Pimblett?
Pimblett named former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira as his ideal next opponent after UFC 314.
However, he also insisted that he is open to facing anyone that will lead to him getting a title shot.
In a perfect world, the Scouser will face a top five lightweight in the Middle East later this year.
Pimblett added: “I just wanna fight.
“Whoever that one person is that will get me a title shot, I want that fight.
“My plan even before the fight was to fight in Abu Dhabi in October.
“I’ve always wanted to fight there. The UFC always do a pay-per-view there in October.
“I just think it would be the perfect time to come back. Recharge my batteries over the summer, keep training every day, keep the weight down, and then go right back into camp in August or September.”
