Paddy Pimblett on how Football Manager gets him through tough times during fight camp
Paddy Pimblett recently revealed that he regularly plays the popular video game Football Manager in his spare time and outlined how it has helped him get through tough training camps.
On a recent episode of Pub Talks with Ray Parlour and Alan Brazil, Pimblett spoke about his favorite video games and his latest achievement on Football Manager:
"I've literally just went and bought an I-Pad yesterday... It kills so much time for me, especially in fight camp when I'm dying. When I think about food, and I don't want to, I just sit there... I've just bought Jude Bellingham on it for 80 million. Absolute bargain."
Considering Paddy Pimblett's Liverpudlian origins, a love for football is to be expected.

Securing three finishes in his first three octagon appearances, the 27-year-old is now going into his fourth fight with a record of 3-0 in the UFC. He last beat Jordon Leavitt at UFC Fight Night 208 via second-round submission. His upcoming opponent, Jared Gordon, last beat UFC veteran Leonardo Santos, defeating him via unanimous decision at UFC 278.
The two lightweights will face each other at UFC 282 on December 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Michael Bisping warns Paddy Pimblett not to underestimate Jared Gordon
Michael Bisping has warned Paddy Pimblett not to take Jared Gordon lightly ahead of their lightweight clash at UFC 282.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, 'The Count' fired off a warning to the Scouser:
"Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett is making his Vegas debut with Gordon looking to make a huge upset. Paddy is on fire, people are loving him, and you can't turn on your social media without seeing him. This guy is everywhere. Jared Gordon is not a man to be trifled with, not a man to be underestimated."
The former middleweight champion also outlined the dangers that 'Flash' presents, owing to 11 fights worth of experience in the octagon and the adversities that he had to overcome throughout his life.
