The Scousers Are Back — And Paddy’s Locked In!

Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett is officially back in the fight game, and all eyes are on his intense weight cut ahead of UFC 314. Known as much for his post-fight feasts as his pre-fight flair, the Liverpool fan-favorite is shredding down — and making headlines with his dramatic transformation.

From dad bod to fight-ready savage, Paddy’s journey to 155 lbs has begun, and fans are loving every second of the chaos, commitment, and classic Paddy banter.

 From Full English to Fight Fuel

Paddy is no stranger to the scale. After every fight, he famously balloons up — sometimes gaining as much as 50 pounds between camps.

But now, with UFC 314 just weeks away, the diet is on, the sweets are out, and it’s strictly:

🥚 Egg whites for breakfast

🥩 Lean protein + greens for dinner

🚱 No sugar, no snacks, and definitely no pizza

On Instagram, Paddy’s been posting daily updates of his cut — shirtless mirror selfies, training clips, and some hilarious “food funeral” videos featuring sad goodbyes to his favorite takeaways.

“I’m starving, lad… but I’m gonna smash this weight cut worse than I’m gonna smash my opponent,”

 Training Camp Intensity: FULL SEND

Paddy’s working out like a man on a mission. Training at Next Generation MMA in Liverpool, his team says he’s in the best shape of his life:

Cardio? On point.

Grappling? Sharper than ever.

Striking? Getting cleaner every session.

Mindset? Unshakable.

There’s even talk that this version of Paddy could be the one to break into the top 10 — if he can make a statement at UFC 314.

 The Weight Cut Controversy

Let’s be real: Paddy’s weight has always been a hot topic. Critics say he’s too reckless, that ballooning up between fights isn’t sustainable, and that it puts his health at risk.

But Paddy’s always brushed it off with a smile and a shrug — and so far, he’s never missed weight.

This time, though, there’s zero margin for error. UFC 314 is rumored to be one of the biggest cards of the year, and Dana White is expecting every fighter to show up dialed in.

Sources say the UFC Performance Institute has been helping Paddy closely monitor the cut, using dietitians, hydration testing, and state-of-the-art tech to keep things safe and smart.

 Who’s He Fighting?

As of now, the UFC hasn’t officially confirmed Paddy’s opponent — but the rumors are flying.

Top names being tossed around include:

Benoit Saint Denis

Matt Frevola

Even the always-entertaining Bobby Green

No matter who steps across from him in the Octagon, fans know one thing for sure:

Paddy brings the chaos.

And UFC 314 just became must-watch.

 Final Thoughts

Love him or hate him, Paddy The Baddy knows how to own the spotlight. With the weight cut in full swing, his team locked in, and the fans rallying behind him, UFC 314 is shaping up to be his biggest moment yet.

If Paddy shows up lean, mean, and laser-focused, the lightweight division might be in trouble.

Watch the scales. Watch the cage. Watch the madness.
Because when Paddy the Baddy cuts weight, the fight is already halfway won.
