Paddy Pimblett names Roger Federer and Steven Gerrard as his favorite athletes
MMA reporter Alex Behunin has been running a column called ‘Humanizing fighters’ for quite some time now. In asking fighters about their favorite food, athlete, color etc. fans get to see a side of these fighters that is usually left outside the octagon. A peek into a different shade of their life.
Paddy Pimblett was the latest fighter to make a feature in the column. He named Tennis legend and third highest Grand Slams winner Roger Federer, and Liverpool FC icon Steven Gerrard as his favourite athletes.
Pimblett has a reputation for swelling up in pounds, quickly after his fights owing to his love for junk food. ‘Baddy’ has previously claimed that he’d rather be fat and happy than trimmed and sad. He is often seen out of fight camps completely out of shape.
This has gotten MMA fans, experts, and fighters all worried and talking about the grave effect it has on the body. But cutting weight, and showing up to fight has never been an issue for the UK native fighter. When asked about his favourite food, Pimblett simply said that he loves food too much to name a favourite.
