Pimblett’s August Video Showed a Post-Fight Weight Change
Paddy Pimblett showed a weight of approximately 198 pounds in a video shared in August 2024, weeks after UFC 304. The reading was about forty-two pounds above the 156 pounds he had recorded for his July contest against King Green.
The vlog addressed life between fights
MMA Fighting reported the video on August 12. Pimblett discussed eating freely after the fight and said his weight tended to rise when he stopped training regularly.
He rejected suggestions that he should automatically move into a heavier division, pointing to the size of established welterweights. His comments described his own experience and intentions during that particular period between competitive appearances.
The Green fight had ended quickly
At UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27, Pimblett submitted Green with a triangle choke at 3:22 of the first round. Green’s takedown attempt had opened the transition from a guillotine threat to the decisive triangle.
The result extended Pimblett’s UFC record to six victories without defeat. Dana White subsequently announced a $200,000 performance bonus for the finish.
Two different weighings measured different moments
The official event weigh-in established Pimblett’s competition weight for the Green bout. The later vlog showed a separate reading outside the sanctioned pre-fight process.
The comparison documented the change he chose to share after the victory. It did not supply an official measurement for a later contest, and its relevance belongs to the weeks after UFC 304 rather than his weight at any subsequent point in his career.
