Paddy Pimblett brings electricity to any arena he fights in, but he is not happy with the electricity cost in his own space.
In a recent Tweet from his personal account, 'The Baddy' vented his frustrations in regard to what he saw as a steep price for his most recent utility bill.

"Genuinely shocked when I checked our gas & electricity bill! When I heard @MartinSLewis say it’s “heat or eat” for some familys he wasn’t wrong! Thats just for me & laura how does @BorisJohnson & this Tory government expect familys to survive?! Its okay tho doesn’t affect them"
Although the rising lightweight superstar has an ever-growing public profile and a bolstering UFC resume, he still deals with everyman issues like this.
The discourse surrounding inflation in the UK has been prominent as of late. Clearly it is a broader social issue that many are dealing with, some of whom likely have a very similar viewpoint to Pimblett.
At the very least, there were many likeminded sentiments through the anecdotal lens of Pimblett's Twitter response timeline.
In another reply retweeted on Pimblett's account, @JC_LFC_JC said:
"Cheers mate. It's just about bearable at the minute but any further rises and it may not be. But the worst thing is, I know there are loads that are so much worse off - it's like it's not quite sunk it yet for most people how bad this actually is."
