Paddy 'the Baddy' Pimblett has shared how much weight he gains in just one week after a fight.
The MMA fighter is currently ranked as the 15th best lightweight in the UFC, following his triumphant result in UFC 304 on 28 July at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, UK.
Pimblett faced off against King Green, and ruthlessly won by submission in the first round, just over three and a half minutes after the fight began - the first time Green had been submitted since 2009.

It means that the Scouse fighter's record now stands at 22-3, as he continues to make his way up the rankings.

On top of his impressive performances in the octagon, Pimblett is known for his eccentric personality, which he often shares with fans through his social media accounts.
Prior to his match at UFC 304, he shared his training journey leading up to the event on his YouTube channel, including his pre-fight cut, not just to make weight, but to be in the best shape possible going into the fight.

We all know that boxers, MMA fighters and other combat sport athletes have a weight they must reach prior to their fight, but we don't see much of that gruelling journey, other than the weigh-in and their appearance in the ring, where fans notice how in-shape they look.
However, following his win over Green, Pimblett released a video called 'Paddy The Baddy Checks Weight After UFC 304', which begins the day after the fight as the 29-year-old goes through messages sent in to congratulate him on the result.

He then goes for a meal with his wife, Laura Gregory, and his two babies and eats junk for the first time since his fight, listing that his meal had 'white chocolate, Nutella, bits of Biscoff, pistachio and another type of chocolate' - he deserves it to be fair.

A week later, he reveals that he's been documenting his weight gain through selfies, with one taken each day after his fight.
"Probably being called a fat f*** by everyone," he joked.
"I'm not as fat as I have been but I'm still a bit chubby, we were eating all sorts lad, Chinese, Thai, steaks, burgers and s**t, still looking forward to some scrans here."

He later stated: "When I don't train, I put weight on."
While explaining that he's taken a selfie everyday, he adds: "I don't notice that much of a difference on it, but, there is a little difference. Know what I mean?
"Back on the health kick now, though," Pimblett stated.

The UFC fighter admitted that though he could keep eating as he wasn't in camp, he's 'back in the gym everyday'.
Though a change in his weight is noticeable, it's not massive and it is definitely needed after the long, challenging process that is training camp before a fight.
In the rest of the video, the Liverpudlian shared snippets of him training in a gym, with explanations to the camera from time to time from himself and coaches.
