Some UFC <\/a>fighters cut weight with scientific precision. Others take a more creative approach. Paddy Pimblett falls firmly into the second category. The Liverpool native has become almost as famous for his dramatic weight fluctuations as for his fighting skills. His ability to balloon up between fights and then somehow make the 156-pound lightweight limit has mystified nutritionists and delighted fans. It is part of what makes Pimblett such a unique character in a sport full of personalities.<\/p>

Last weekend at UFC 314, Pimblett scored the biggest win of his career by defeating Michael Chandler via third-round TKO. The victory catapulted him into lightweight contender status and validated all the hype surrounding the charismatic Scouser. But true to form, Pimblett didn’t waste any time celebrating, both in the party sense and in the caloric sense. Within just one week of his career-defining victory, ‘The Baddy’ has embraced his notorious post-fight ritual of indulging in everything his strict fight camp denied him.<\/p>
