Being an MMA fighter comes with a lot of sacrifices. There are several fighters in the UFC who absolutely love food. Welterweight Jorge Masvidal is famous not only for his spectacular fights but also for his craze over food. Similarly, one of UFC’s upcoming stars, Paddy Pimblett, also likes food. The lightweight fighter is known to gain quite a lot of weight when he is not in camp. In the recent post-fight press conference, ‘The Baddy’ was questioned if he ever misses his six-pack when he gains weight. However, it seems like he does not. Instead, the fighter said that he would rather be fat and happy. Pimblett said, “I’d rather be fat and happy than like ripped and, like these people who are ripped all year round aren’t happy. I’m not arsed. I don’t care what you say. This six-pack is sound. I look great, but I’d rather be fat and happy, lad.” It looks like Pimblett [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/paddy-pimblett/] likes to experience both sides of the world: a world-class athlete as well as someone who loves to gorge on food. While a few fans have been concerned about him gaining weight outside of fights and later reducing it, it doesn’t seem to have affected his performance. The 27-year-old fighter is just two fights old in the UFC. During his first fight with the promotion, he won through a T/KO. His second fight was on March 19, which he won via submission in the first round. As a result, his future in the UFC looks promising. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/mma-ufc-news-who-is-paddy-pimblett-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-ufc-debutant/] MORE ON PADDY PIMBLETT The 18-3-0 professional record [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Paddy-Pimblett-84902] holder has been fighting since 2012. He has also been the featherweight champion at Cage Warriors. His latest first-round submission win against opponent Rodrigo (Kazula) Vargas [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Rodrigo-Vargas-71577] shows his expertise in the sport. Further, apart from sporting a four-fight winning streak, the fighter also has finished his last four fights in the first round itself.

UFC's lightweight Paddy Pimblett shares his thoughts on weight gain between
fights. Here's what the fighter said about it!

Rohini Kottu is a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. She is also a Psychologist
and has a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. Rohini, in her role as a UFC
writer, combines her admiration for the mental resilience that MMA fighters have
and her love for analysis. She has been following UFC since 2020 and very often
contemplates the psyche of fighters while they are in action and wonders what
kind of mental preparation goes into it. This is reflected in her copies about
the sport. Ironically, being a Nate Diaz fan, she can't watch a ton of blood
being spilt in the octagon. In her free time, she likes to write poetry or read
novels.

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">UFC star Jorge Masvidal established himself as a fan favorite because of his shenanigans both inside and outside the Octagon. The outspoken welterweight burst into the scene after his exploits with a now-defunct Strikeforce. While the American fighter scrapped inside the UFC Octagon for over a decade, the year 2019 stands out for his memorable performances. Not only did he win the inaugural BMF title againstÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Nate Diaz</a>, but also bagged a title shot that he cashed in the next year.

In the vibrant, adrenaline-charged world of mixed martial arts, few stories are as compelling as that of Paddy Pimblett. Once a promising prospect fighting out of Liverpool, Paddy's journey from the regional circuits to the global stage of the UFC has been nothing short of electrifying.

Paddy Pimblett's career has been marked by several accolades and a splendid record of 21-3. As a former Cage Warriors featherweight champion, he didn't just stop there; he also clinched the vacant lightweight championship for the promotion, cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with. His professional MMA journey began in October 2012 when he defeated Nathan Thompson via a first-round TKO at the Olympian MMA Championships.

After his debut, 'The Baddy' claimed three successive victories before facing his first professional loss against Cameron Else via submission. However, Pimblett immediately bounced back with nine consecutive victories, showcasing his resilience and determination. September 10, 2016, was a significant date in Pimblett's career as at Cage Warriors Fighting Championship 78, he defeated Johnny Frachey to become the Cage Warriors featherweight champion.

His last bout in Cage Warriors saw him claim a first-round submission victory over Davide Martinez in March 2021 at CW 122. This victory paved the way for his entry into the UFC, where he continued his winning streak. In the UFC, Pimblett quickly made his mark. The 29-year-old is a versatile fighter, excelling both on his feet and on the ground. As a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, he defies the stereotype of British fighters struggling with ground game, frequently showcasing his elite submission grappling skills. His career is adorned with highlight-reel moments, including his signature flying triangles in Cage Warriors.

Debuting in UFC's highly competitive lightweight division, he faced Luigi Vendramini on September 4, 2021, at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Till. Pimblett's performance was nothing short of spectacular, earning him a first-round KO victory and a 'Performance of the Night' bonus, an accolade he repeated in his next UFC outing.

2022 was a pivotal year for Paddy. After overcoming a few bumps along the way, including a decision win that many felt he had lost, he bounced back with a string of victories that displayed his growth and maturity as a fighter. Following three consecutive victories in 2022, Pimblett defeated Tony Ferguson via decision last year to take his winning streak to five in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
