Fans are stunned again as Paddy Pimblett shows off incredible body transformation ahead of UFC 304 fight
The lightweight is set to fight King Green next weekend.
Paddy Pimblett has shared an image of his physique before his upcoming fight at UFC 304, and fans cannot believe how different he looks.
‘The baddy’ is set to fight King Green, who recently changed his name from Bobby Green, in his first fight of the year at UFC 304 in Manchester next weekend.
Pimblett remains unbeaten since joining the UFC in September 2021, winning all five of his previous fights in the premier Mixed Martial Arts organisation.
But, while his ability inside the octagon is undeniable, the 29-year-old is perhaps best known for the drastic weight changes he undergoes in between fights.
And, after Pimblett posted an image on Instagram of his physique before the fight with Green, fans cannot believe how different he looks.
Reacting to an image posted by Happy Punch which compares Pimblett’s image to one taken in January, one fan wrote: “These drastic weight changes will catch up to him at some point”
Another added: “Looks in great condition but the weight fluctuation can’t be good for career longevity”
Another fan suggested that the negative impacts of such drastic weight loss can already be seen in Pimblett’s performances.
They wrote: “That’s why his stamina is terrible and he spends most of his training camp playing catch-up instead of being ready from the get-go. He needs to grasp the idea of holding off on immediate pleasures for long-term benefits.”
Pimblett is heading into the fight off the back of a career-best performance against former lightweight interim champion and UFC veteran Tony Ferguson, who he defeated in an unanimous decision in December.
But defeating Green will be no easy task, with the American boasting a professional record of 32 wins and 15 losses and currently sitting 15th in the UFC lightweight rankings.

The pair have previously clashed on social media, leading to Green officially calling out Pimblett after his victory over Jim Miller at the historic UFC 300 card.
Green said: “Paddy, how dare you, you slimy, sugary little snake, how dare you say my name? I’m coming after you. July, I’m coming to your backyard, with your people, to kick your a**.”
Fellow scouser and Next Generation MMA teammate ‘Meatball’ Molly McCann will also feature on the Manchester card as she faces Bruna Brasil in her second fight in the strawweight division.
