Paddy Pimblett revealed his diet after his emphatic UFC London victory as he has begun piling weight back on after his 35lbs weight cut. The rising UFC star put in a memorable performance when he won his lightweight division UFC London fight within the first round, submitting Rodrigo Vargas with a rear-naked choke, coming off the back of his debut win last year over Luigi Vendramini.
His triumph against Vendramini came in fine style but he was on the receiving end of some blows - making it an exciting fight for fans to witness, and in similar fashion, he took a big shot from Vargas before going on to win in the first-round.
Along with his exciting fighting style, Pimblett's personality and charisma has seen him gain millions of UFC fans, becoming a household name after just two fights - with fans clearly in attendance at the 02 Arena to see the Liverpool star.

Pimblett, who is a self-admitted foodie, ballooned up to almost 200lbs after his win over Vendramini, and stated that he'll put on weight again in between fights. After his win over Vargas, he came to the press conference with a pizza.
And last week, the 27-year-old showed what was in his fridge when he spoke on the Pat McAfee Show. In his kitchen, Pimblett showed off a huge pack of doughnuts, easter eggs, chocolate, cheesecake and crisps.
Pimblett admitted that two days after his win he consumed a massive 10,700 calories in just one day, stating: "I eat so many calories it's unbelievable, on Monday I actually gauged what I ate and I had 10,700 calories. That's without me doing a food challenge, that's just me being a fat b******."
But when speaking to the Liverpool Echo recently, the loveable Scouser revealed that he won't get as big as he had last time, with plans to get back in the octagon in the summer.
Pimblett was recently praised after an interview discussing his wage, after it was revealed the fighter's pay pales in comparison to some bigger names. In the interview he said: “I hope I do end up earning as much money as Conor McGregor, lad. Then no child in my city will ever eat from a food bank ever again.
“I’m gonna give back to my city and sort of been planning on doing the past few months, just to start me own charity. I think after this fight, I’m gonna get it done.”
