Paddy Pimblett's drastic 7-month weight cut transformation ahead of UFC 304 once again leaves MMA fans concerned: "That's why his stamina is terrible"

Fans have raised concerns over Paddy Pimblett's massive weight transformation for his latest training camp. Pimblett, who has primarily competed in the featherweight and lightweight division in his professional MMA career, often gains a significant amount of weight when he is not preparing for fights. Over the years, many experts have raised questions about the transformation being detrimental to his progress in the sport.

Pimblett is set to take on veteran fighter Bobby 'King' Green at UFC 304 on July 27 in Manchester. The fight will take place in the lightweight division and Pimblett recently posted a picture from his last training session of the camp on Instagram.

A recent post by @HappyPunch on X compared Pimblett's post with his picture from January to highlight the big difference in his weight as Pimblett appears considerably heavier in the older picture.

Fans took to the comments section and raised concerns over Pimblett's well-known tendency to gain weight between fights.

Fan reactions

Pimblett, who cuts down to 155 pounds to compete in the lightweight division, reportedly walks around at nearly 200 pounds between fights. While the MMA community has brutally trolled the British fighter, he has fired back for questioning his life choices in the past.

In 2023, the 29-year-old had said that he was done with the drastic weight gain and was planning to follow a more disciplined lifestyle when not in camp. However, the recent transformation suggests otherwise.

Pimblett is on a five-fight win streak in the UFC and is considered among the most marketable European fighters currently signed with the promotion. The UFC 304 showdown with Green will be the last fight on Pimblett's contract. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, he expressed the desire to explore the influencer boxing circuit for a big payday.
