Fans Shook After ‘Baddy’ Posts Jarring Holiday Weight Gain

UFC lightweight sensation Paddy Pimblett, who frequently made headlines for his “genuine eating disorder,” seemed to get control of his yo-yo dieting after undergoing ankle surgery last March. The goal, according to “The Baddy,” was to keep himself below 200 pounds for the foreseeable future.

Then came the holiday season and based on recent pics of the swelling scouser, it appears Pimblett is at risk of reaching this mark set back in early 2022. Not surprisingly, UFC fans were shocked by his physical transformation, which harkened back to his glory days of stateside binge eating.

“The Baddy” was a lean and mean 155.5 pounds just over two weeks back.

—Holy f—k bro how are you huge already?

—Dude had a six-pack last week.

—I don’t understand how this is humanly possible.

—Bro this dude gains weight faster then anyone I have ever seen, freak of nature.

—Dude will die young for sure with these eating habits. Jesus almighty. This can’t be real.

—How the hell do you gain that much weight in 15 days?

—Holy s—t. Is it water retention/bloating?

The 28 year-old “Baddy” is undefeated inside the Octagon, racking up five straight wins since crossing over from Cage Warriors back in late 2021. The current plan is to have Pimblett compete in March before his wife gives birth but as of this writing, the “faster and stronger” scouser has yet to secure a booking.
