UFC’s rising stars from Liverpool, England, Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann are set to star in their own show on British channel, BBC Three. Named “Paddy & Molly: Show No Mersey,” the limited series will follow Pimblett and McCann exclusively through their cameras, previewing their upcoming fights as a nod to their Merseyside origins.
Social media buzzed with anticipation for the show’s announcement, with fans discussing Pimblett’s growing fame helping McCann grow her own identity. One follower commented, “Wow, she really is living off the back of Paddy’s success.” However, a majority of users talked about Pimblett’s chubby-looking face outside of the fighting camp, with some sharing hilarious takes and others openly disinterested in the show.
Paddy Pimblett is known for his drastic weight fluctuations outside of fight camp, often gaining an immense amount of weight when not preparing for a fight and ending up looking very unhealthy. UFC lightweight Renato Moicano recently reacted to a picture of Pimblett, advising him to be more diligent about his weight.
On his YouTube channel, Moicano criticized Pimblett for his extreme turnaround in weight within three weeks of his fight. “Somebody sent me a picture of this motherf***** Paddy Pimblett, and look how fat he is, my brother. I cannot believe how big he gets between fights, I’m not even joking. He fought December 16, so less than three weeks, my brother, and now he’s looking like an old, retired fighter, my brother. Fat as f***,” he shared.
