Paddy the Baddy recently took to Instagram to compliment fellow fighter, Paulo Costa, on his recent weigh-in. The English fighter said, “We love u proving the doubters wrong me and the big guy.” Interestingly, Costa also did something similar with his ‘underwear’ that Pimblett had done earlier.
The Brazilian fighter has had a hard time trying to make weight in his recent fights. Costa shared that he was nowhere near middleweight, just a couple of weeks ago. Borrachinha recently made weight for his upcoming fight with Luke Rockhold and mentioned that he received some help from Pimblett.

Both Pimblett and Costa have similar styles of gaining weight in between fights, and this common factor has certainly sparked a friendship between the pair.
What’s next for Paddy Pimblett in the UFC
The English fighter rose to stardom as he capped off his UFC debut with a stunning knockout, in September of last year. Pimblett has since then secured two stunning victories via submission, giving him a dream start to his UFC career.
The 27-year-old has also brought his own unique entertainment factor to the sport. This impressive start, along with Baddy’s unconventional approach, has given rise to comparisons of him with the Irishman Conor McGregor. Although Paddy still has a long way to go, to reach the stardom of ‘The Notorious’, fans are optimistic with regard to Pimblett’s future.
