Paddy the Baddy recently took to Instagram to compliment fellow fighter, Paulo Costa, on his recent weigh-in. The English fighter said, “We love u proving the doubters wrong me and the big guy.” Interestingly, Costa also did something similar with his ‘underwear’ that Pimblett had done earlier.

Both Pimblett and Costa have similar styles of gaining weight in between fights, and this common factor has certainly sparked a friendship between the pair.
