UFC’s pizza-pounding Paddy Pimblett is pure evil, devours gooey pepperoni slice during teammate’s brutal weight cut

UFC lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett faced criticism for indulging in a pizza while his teammate George Staines was cutting weight for a fight. Staines, who won his debut UFC bout on Dana White’s “Contender Series” through a KO, pushed the undefeated English fighter to an 11-0 record with four finishes. Pimblett, known for his love of soda, quipped that the American Dr. Pepper “hits different,” after the fight.

Despite the pizza incident, Pimblett and Staines have maintained a close bond as training partners, showing no signs of turning on each other following Staines' successful debut.
