Paddy Pimblett On Losing, Coming Back And Fighting Under McGregor

Paddy Pimblett is back on the Men’s Health Built for Life podcast. After suffering the first real loss of his UFC career, Paddy sits down with Andrew Tracey to talk about coming back, growing up, fatherhood, fighting for something bigger than yourself, and why he knows he’ll return ‘bigger and better and stronger’. He also breaks down the brutal reality of UFC weight cutting, from 1,850-calorie fight camp days to losing 15lb overnight, why he believes the cut can be ‘more dangerous than the fight’, and what really happens between the weigh-in and walking into the cage. Plus, Paddy reveals the training he wishes he’d started years earlier, why lifting weights changed his career, the running mileage that helps him make weight, the problem with influencer boxing, why he thinks boxing is losing real fighters, and what it means to be fighting on the same card as Conor McGregor.  And, yes, he explains why he’s absolutely not a HYROX guy.
