\u201cLet\u2019s load up on these carbohydrates!\u201d<\/p>\n
Those were the words of Paddy \u201cThe Baddy\u201d Pimblett as he started his UFC 324 fight day preparations with a hearty breakfast \u2026 and then never really stopped eating.<\/p>\n
Pimblett often goes on a bit of a mukbang after every fight, binge eating over 10,000 calories<\/a> a day to make up for the extreme pre-fight dieting<\/a> he does to get down to 155. But this time we\u2019re getting a glimpse into his fight day eating, and it was certainly something for his interim lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje.<\/p>\n A new video on Pimblett\u2019s YouTube show him feasting on a big breakfast of hash browns, pancakes, and breakfast sandwiches. Once he arrives at the arena he\u2019s hitting up a turkey sandwich and munching on biscuits. Then he\u2019s on to a massive bag of Sour Patch Kids as he waits for his fight to begin. While Paddy said they were the perfect bit of carbs and energy, they didn\u2019t sit well.<\/p>\n \u201cJust crucified that bog,\u201d Pimblett said, returning from the bathroom. \u201cLad, it was about six logs. It just wouldn\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n For all the trash he puts in his body, Paddy\u2019s diet didn\u2019t prevent him from performing at UFC 325. He didn\u2019t beat Justin Gaethje, but he hung with \u201cThe Highlight\u201d for five hard rounds, surviving what many of Gaethje\u2019s past opponents could not. So as usual, any criticism of Pimblett\u2019s eating habits<\/a> need to be followed up with the question: \u2018But did it negatively affect him?\u2019<\/p>\n It may have negatively affected the fighters who had to share his bathroom, but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cLet\u2019s load up on these carbohydrates!\u201d Those were the words of Paddy \u201cThe Baddy\u201d Pimblett as he started…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,785,85,1396],"class_list":["post-468565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
