Paddy Pimblett is looking in very good shape ahead of his fight at UFC 282 this coming weekend.

Pimblett is competing against Jared Gordon on Saturday 11th December at UFC 282 and he posted an image to his 2.3 million Instagram followers showing the serious work that he has been putting in to get ready for the fight against Gordon.

He is looking in a relaxed mood as he is showing off his biceps as he tenses his arms in a celebratory pose, in what looks like a UFC cage behind him.

The UFC branding in the background shows that he is preparing extensively for the fight and from the sweat on his forehead, we can agree with the belief that he is putting in the hard yards.

The English Mixed Martial Arts star is looking in good shape as he is showing off his ripped six pack muscles with a huge grin on his face to suggest that he is ready for the fight against Gordon.

He is looking to add to his 17 wins by defeating Gordon on Saturday and from the image that he has posted, “The Baddy” is giving himself every possible opportunity to do this, and by putting in the hard yards, it would not be a surprise if he wins.

There are two people who are behind Pimblett, who are presumably his trainers, which shows just how determined “The Baddy” is to make sure that his standards do not drop, so that he can perform at his best.

Preparation is key and by having his team around him preparing for the fight, it can give Pimblett the one percenters that can make a huge difference on the day and training plays a key role in understanding that.
