Paddy Pimblett moons cameras, sends message to fat-shamers
Paddy Pimblett is one of the UFC’s fastest-rising stars, but his appearance while not competing inside the octagon has sparked conversation on more than one occasion.
Pimblett, who successfully weighed in today at 156-pounds for his UFC London lightweight bout against Jordan Leavitt on Saturday, sent a message to those who ‘fat-shamed’ him over the past few years.
“For everyone that tried to fat shame me and said I’d miss weight or f****** pull out, kiss my ass,” Pimblett said as he mooned the cameras.

Pimblett has never missed weight while competing inside the octagon, but eating pizza at press conferences and then appearing to have packed on the pounds in his off-time, fans have questioned if the former Cage Warriors 145-pound champion was living a healthy lifestyle.
