Paddy Pimblett Posts 85.7kg Training-Scale Weigh-In Ahead of UFC 329

The vlog’s profane rebuke of online dieticians and camp updates highlights concerns over a roughly 33–35 pound cut before his July 11 co‑main with Benoit Saint‑Denis.

Overview

  • On Monday Pimblett stepped on a scale in a training vlog and showed about 85.7 kg (≈189 lbs) roughly seven weeks before UFC 329.
  • He is booked to face No. 5‑ranked Benoit Saint‑Denis in the July 11 co‑main event in Las Vegas with the lightweight non‑title limit at 156 pounds.
  • In the video Pimblett lashed out at online ‘dieticians,’ using profanity to dismiss critics who have flagged his large between‑camp weight swings.
  • Reporters note the cut to fight week will be about 33–35 pounds but also record that Pimblett has consistently made the lightweight limit in eight UFC appearances.
  • Coverage links the weigh‑in to broader questions about fighter safety, Pimblett’s daily running and recovery work in camp, and competitive stakes on a card headlined by Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway.
