Paddy Pimblett weighs himself two weeks after fighting at UFC 304 and the results are hilarious
Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett has once again displayed his remarkable weight-gaining abilities just two weeks on from competing at UFC 304.
The Liverpudlian star was in excellent condition for the event in Manchester, weighing in at 156lbs (70kg) before his entertaining submission win over Bobby Green on July 27.
Having won an estimated £156,000 in bonuses, Pimblett jetted off to Tenerife to enjoy some well-earned down time with his family, having recently welcomed twin girls into the world along with his wife Laura.
It was in Spain that the 29-year-old really began to tuck into his favourite meals following weeks of tough training and dedication in the build-up to his last fight.

And in the latest video shared on his YouTube channel, Pimblett revealed just how much weight he managed to put on in only a week.
After returning from his holiday, Pimblett weighed in at just under 198lb (90kg), a remarkable rise of more than 42lbs since his last UFC fight.
"I'm still a bit chubby. I'm not as fat as I have been but I'm still a bit chubby," he joked in the video.
"We were eating all sorts. Chinese, Thai, steak, burgers.
"I’m still looking forward to some scrans here. But I just need to train. That’s the main thing.
"Obviously, eating copious amounts of food doesn't help your weight, but when I don't train, I put weight on."
Pimblett move into the top 15 of the lightweight rankings for the first time as a UFC fighter following his win over Green.
He now has 22 wins on his pro MMA record, with just three defeats, and is expected to fight at least once more this year.
It remains to be seen who he faces, with bouts against Rafael dos Anjos, Dan Hooker, or Renato Moicano all mooted.
And Pimblett has vowed to once again get back in top shape in time for his next fight.
"I took a selfie every day," he added, showing the difference in his weight from the last two weeks.
"I don't notice that much of a difference but there is a little difference.
"Back on the health kick now. Still, got a few scrans to eat, but back in the gym every day."
