Everyone lost weight with a cheeky feature of The Baddy
Excellent news for fans and fighters alike is that all of the athletes competing on the UFC London card made weight ahead of tonight’s event.
Mokaev was the only one who had a problem. He needed the box to get to the 126lbs Flyweight limit. During their live weigh in, the BT Sport broadcast team noted that Mokaev was having difficulty losing the last few kilos the night before UFC London.
Paddy was again the dominant headliner. “The Baddy”Pimblett, after losing weight, took the chance to express his doubts. The Scouse star NotedTo “Everyone who tried to fat shame me or said I would miss weight or f***ing pull out — kiss me a*s”…which he subsequently presented, much to the annoyance of the live broadcast team.
“It’s time to give everyone a first-round knockout, to be honest even a ground-and-pound TKO if I end up on top of him. I’m expecting him to come out and try to make it a boring fight, like he does with all his fights, make it a boring fight grappling heavy. Even when I grapple it’s entertaining, it’s an exciting fight but when he grapples, he just makes it boring. So, I don’t like having boring fights, people don’t talk about them after.” – Paddy Pimblett, via BT Sport YouTube.
