UFC star Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett once took on 10 US marines in the gym and the results were surprising.

Since making his UFC debut with a first-round finish over Luigi Vendramini back in September 2021, Pimblett has gone on to become one of the biggest names in all of MMA.

The 30-year-old has gone on to enjoy an unbeaten record within the UFC, claiming notable wins over the likes of Tony Ferguson and Michael Chandler, and potentially setting up a title fight against bitter rival and current lightweight champion Ilia Topuria.

Outside of the octagon, the Liverpudlian has also become massively popular online through videos posted on his YouTube channel, many of them detailing his massive weight changes between fights.

In 2022, Pimblett decided to visit San Diego, California, to attend the UFC event headlined by Marlon 'Chito' Vera and Dominik Cruz.

But before the event got underway, 'The Baddy' joined the United States Marines Corps (USMC) at Camp Pendleton see how hard they work and teach them Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

However, just because he was teaching the marines some of his BJJ skills, didn't mean he held back, as he showed just how talented he is as he rolled with 10 US marines and submitted each and every one of them.

Pimblett, who has 10 submission wins in his MMA career, used various different techniques to force all of the marines to tap out.

Speaking after the impressive display of his talents, Pimblett paid respect to the marines, admitting that they had pushed him to his limits and joking that he would have to scrap the run he had planned later that day.

"I have the balance of a ballerina lad and weigh like a f**king sumo wrestler," he said, while lying exhausted on the mat.

"You know what I mean, I’m a weirdo lad, proper weirdo.

"F**king hell lad yous have made me do a big crazy circuit then I’ve f**king rolled every one of yous. What the f**k boys? Meant to be doing a three-mile run today, it’s not happening now. Lad, this has been one of my hardest workouts this week, you gang of big b**tards."
