Colby Covington recently disclosed and reaffirmed that Paddy Pimblett suffered organ failure from cutting too much weight.
Pimblett, who is currently the No. 5-ranked UFC lightweight contender, has his crosshairs on champion Ilia Topuria. The two share bad blood since the inception of their careers, and even had a heated faceoff after Topuria won the 155-pound championship earlier this year.
Fans are aware of Pimblett’s passion for cuisine. The Brit loves to binge eat, and despite that, he has never failed to make weight for his UFC fights. But ‘The Baddy’ and his notorious weight loss, such as losing 14 pounds in 14 hours before the Michael Chandler bout and similar weight cuts to date, have taken a toll on his body.
