Paddy Pimblett showed an impressive array of skills to submit ten US Marines in a row in a training drill. The 27-year-old lightweight showcased his talents while out in the US as he takes time away from the Octagon ahead of his next fight.
The Baddy recently tipped the scales at 206 lbs following his fight against Jordan Leavitt at UFC London in July where he was fighting at 155 lbs but showed that he has lost none of his skill and it is expected that he will drop weight once more for his next fight.
He has been in the US for a succession of media appearances and has also been picturing enjoying the American cuisine. However, he opted for a very different experience this time around as he took part in a series of exercises with the Marines, which was all featured in a video posted to his YouTube channel.

This included circuit drills followed by grappling matches in which he proceeded to take on 10 of the assembled Marines. Despite his recent weight gain, he was able to comfortably force his opponents to tap out as he displayed his considerable prowess with his Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills.
Despite his impressive show of skill, Pimblett did appear slightly taken aback by the levels of fitness, as he explained in a Q&A session following the exercise. He said: "I have the balance of a ballerina but I weigh like a sumo wrestler," he said. "I'm a weirdo, f***ing hell, lads, you've made me do a big crazy circuit and then I've rolled with every one of you, what the f***, boys? I'm meant to be doing a three-mile run today, it's not happening now, lad this has been one of my hardest workouts this week you gang of big b******s."
"I don't know what the f*** made me want to do this," Pimblett joked during a Q&A session with members after the challenge, where he was hardly put in any danger despite taking on ten opponents successively. "This t-shirt is sticking to me, why did I decide to come here? Or did this get pushed on me? I'm fat."
