Paddy Pimblett has been taking the UFC by storm as of late, making plenty of headlines for his charismatic persona and his humble nature.

He’s on a good run of form in the Octagon, with his rise in the sport similar to that of a Conor McGregor, it seems like The Baddy has the world at his feet, he just needs to carry on what he is doing and he’ll be a global star.

There’s no fight lined up for him as things stand, but he’s certainly on his way in the right direction, with a title fight on the horizon if he carries on like he is doing.

Paddy Pimblett’s diet

When he isn’t preparing for a fight, a lot has been said about his eating habits, with him enjoying his life how he sees fit, with no restrictions on himself, with the high intensity and controlled lifestyle of an athlete pre-event.

So he eats whatever he wants in whatever quantity he wants, putting on considerable weight, although he manages to lose it and regain the perfect physique when needed given his incredible discipline.

It’s a lifestyle not many fighters have adopted in the past, but it just adds to the likeability of the Scouser, he just gets on with his life and does what he wants.

Recently, The Baddy has enjoyed some time away, soaking it in over the pond, so whilst in America, he joined boxing icon, Mike Tyson on his Hotboxin’ podcast, with him not disappointing.

During the show, he ordered food for himself, a banquet would be the best way to describe it, with the fighter not in training for a fight as of now. It included burgers, pizza (which was so thick even Pimblett couldn’t eat it), wings and more, but Tyson wasn’t impressed.

When the food was brought out Tyson said: “That doesn’t look healthy either [about the pizza] it looks like it’s been out for a couple of days. Because they’re making fun of f*****g Paddy The Fatty that’s why.

“I wish I could eat like he eats, that don’t work for 56, I won’t be able to s**t for a week. I won’t be able to s**t, the bread, the red meat, I won’t be able to s**t, pizza I won’t s**t. It’s like a blockage in my a**hole, no meat, I’ll be sitting on the toilet waiting for s**t to come out and it just doesn’t sound.
