Q2: How much weight does Paddy Pimblett typically cut during fight week?
A2: While he sheds roughly 30 pounds of fat and general bulk over an eight-week training camp, his final fight-week water reduction usually involves sweating out approximately 10 to 15 pounds over the final 36 hours.
Q3: Why don't UFC officials force fighters like Pimblett to move up a weight class?
