While addressing the media before UFC 274, ‘The Baddy’ was asked about his weight gain. The reporter asked how much weight he would put on within a week after the fight.

Paddy Pimblett mentioned his last fight at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall and admitted that he gained about forty pounds by the Friday after the event:

"By next Friday I was about 87, 88 kilo. So about, what, what's that? About 190, 195 [pounds]. Something like that, yeah… I think I went back in the cage about 175 [pounds]."

Keep in mind that the lightweight limit is 155lbs, which equals about 70 kilos.
