Paddy Pimblett once again drew attention for one of the issues that has most accompanied his career outside the cage: his weight changes between fights. After competing at UFC 329 within the lightweight limit, he appeared on vacation in Málaga with a very noticeable physical gain.
The British fighter usually undergoes drastic weight cuts to reach the 70-kilogram division in non-title fights. Then, once the commitment is over, he quickly regains weight during his breaks.
The visual difference once again sparked comments about discipline, health, and the demands of MMA. On the scale, he can make weight precisely, but his vacations show another part of the cycle. Paddy not only fights opponents: he also lives between competition weight and rest weight.
