Paddy Pimblett has left UFC fans shocked after he showed off his current physique ahead of his big fight against Michael Chandler next month.

Pimblett returns to action when he faces MMA veteran Chandler in the co-main event of UFC 314 on April 12 in Miami, Florida.

It marks the toughest test of his budding career, having recorded the biggest win of his UFC spell in his last outing.

'The Baddy' submitted King Green in the first round at UFC 304 last summer.

Ahead of facing Chandler, Pimblett has shown off his physique and has stunned UFC fans in the process.

He normally begins his training camps far from the lightweight mark and usually performs a drastic weight cut to make the 155lbs limit.

But with over a month away from his Octagon outing, the 30-year-old is already in fight shape following a gruelling training camp.

On his YouTube channel, Pimblett has documented his training camp and revealed his shape.

He looked lean and in superb physique after performing a strength and conditioning drill.

"I feel really good especially six and a bit weeks out," he said. "I'm obviously happy right now. The position I'm in now, my weight is not too high.

"Everyone normally calls me fat, but my weight isn't that high.

"That's going to come down nice and easy, but I'll probs have more weight to cut than Chandler as I'm a lot bigger at the weight."

Pimblett's physique sent social media wild as UFC fans praised his efforts in camp.

One fan wrote: "Already this early he is in brilliant shape. Wow."

A second added: "Dang paddy already in shape this early in camp? Chandler is getting it."

A third commented: "You look fitter, and more than I've ever seen at this stage of a camp!"

Pimblett has won six fights in a row since signing with the UFC.

He's beaten the likes of Jordan Leavitt, Jared Gordon and Tony Ferguson ahead of meeting Chandler in Miami.
