Paddy Pimblett has been the target of criticism from one ranked UFC fighter due to his post-fight food binges.

Pimblett has had no problem admitting he likes to indulge once a training camp has wrapped up and his fight is over. Paddy balloons quicker than most high-profile UFC competitors, and recent images of him have certainly caught the attention of the MMA community.

One fighter who was appalled by Paddy Pimblett due to his current weight is Renato Moicano. The 23-fight veteran hopped on his YouTube channel with a reaction to Paddy "The Baddy" quickly putting weight back on.

"I was scrolling through the internet, I was checking YouTube videos and stuff and checking the internet and somebody sent me a picture of this motherf***** Paddy Pimblett, and look how fat he is, my brother," Moicano said. "I cannot believe how big he gets between fights, I'm not even joking. He fought December 16, so less than three weeks, my brother and now he's looking like an old, retired fighter, my brother."

Moicano then shared his belief that Paddy is doing his body no good due to a fluctuating physique.

"Every time you see Paddy Pimblett, we see that he fights and then he just becomes obese after the fight, and I think that's going to be very detrimental for his career because at the end of the day, fighters they have to be ready, they have to be in shape, otherwise you're just messing with your whole system."

It doesn't appear Paddy's food escapades have negatively impacted him thus far. Time will tell if that changes.
