Renato Moicano remarks at Paddy Pimblett's post-fight physique

Paddy Pimblett is notorious for his drastic weight fluctuations outside of fight camp.

Pimblett tends to gain an immense amount of weight when he is not preparing for a fight and ends up looking very unhealthy. Fellow UFC lightweight Renato Moicano recently reacted to a picture of Pimblett.

On his YouTube channel, Moicano criticized Pimblett for his extreme turnaround in weight within three weeks of his fight. He also advised him to be more diligent about his weight.

"Somebody sent me a picture of this motherf***** Paddy Pimblett, and look how fat he is, my brother. I cannot believe how big he gets between fights, I'm not even joking. He fought December 16, so less than three weeks, my brother, and now he's looking like an old, retired fighter, my brother. Fat as f***."
