“This has to STOP,” Chael Sonnen STRONGLY opposes Paddy Pimblett’s weight bulk during off-training sessions

While Paddy Pimblett’s way of gaining weight might still entertain reporters with an eye-catching story, Chael Sonnen is not impressed about this situation a little bit and instead, is pleading heavily to stop it. Pimblett, an unranked UFC lightweight who’s already one of the most talked about names in the current UFC roster with just 3 UFC fights, is one of the biggest names to come out of the English MMA scene. Pimblett is so far 19-3 in his overall MMA career with 15 finishes.

Pimblett’s first UFC fight happened back in September 2021 against Luigi Vendramini which Pimblett won via a spectacular first-round KO. Pimblett’s last 2 fights have been taking place in his home country of England, where Pimblett has won both the fights via submission in rounds 1 and 2 respectively against Rodrigo Vargas and Jordan Leavitt. Pimblett is now expected to fight ranked opponents but cannot be assured of a ranked matchup anytime soon in his next fight.

Chael Sonnen says Paddy Pimblett’s thing with his weight will “eventually bite him in the a**”

In one of the videos on his Youtube channel, Chael Sonnen talks about Pimblett’s weight routine and how much the media portrays it as a rather interesting thing when there are other things to talk about a character so marketable and interesting. Rest assured, Sonnen was not a fan of all the media herd running behind Pimblett’s weight and is time for asking the English MMA fighter about his next fight.

“Look guys, Paddy and the weight has to stop,” says Sonnen “It’s gotta come to a screeching stop… first off, it’s not interesting and Paddy the fatty doesn’t make you a clever guy… there are too many interesting things for Paddy… the Paddy and the weight has got to stop, it makes him look foolish, it really does, eventually, that’s going to bite you in the ass… there’s nothing interesting about this…” he continues.

What do you make of Pimblett’s stories in sports media surrounding his weight? Are you as frustrated as Sonnen about this? Do you think what Pimblett is doing is not unhealthy enough in the long run? Because Pimblett has claimed he will stop the binge eating ritual during off-training sessions once he starts to fight ranked opponents but Sonnen says that if you want to make a change about something you feel wrong, you have to start now. Who do you think Pimblett will fight next?
