Paddy Pimblett's current weight would classify him as a UFC heavyweight if he were to step on the scales for a fight today.
The Liverpool fighter competes at lightweight in the promotion, where he can weigh in at 156lb as a maximum, which would be cut down to 155lb if he found himself in a title fight. However, Pimblett is known for taking time away from training and dieting after fights, and balloons in weight out of camp.
And in a recent episode of TV prankster Steve-O's podcast Wild Ride, Pimblett was asked to weigh-in live on air, tipping the scales at 206.6lb. A UFC light-heavyweight would be allowed to, in a non-title fight, weigh in at 206lb, meaning Pimblett was technically walking around as a heavyweight during his trip to America.
