Overview
Paddy The Baddy is the official YouTube channel of Paddy Pimblett, a UFC lightweight and former Cage Warriors champion. He created it in December 2019. As of September 2026 it had about 1.43 million subscribers.
The channel is independent. It follows Paddy Pimblett between fights and through his camps, in a relaxed tone. Videos go up roughly once a week, more often around his fights.
What you'll find
The core of the channel is fight camp vlogs. Before UFC 329, where he faced Benoit Saint Denis, the channel posted a full series: camp complete, everything he eats in a day during camp, his weight cut, his last words before the fight, then what the event cameras did not show. Another video explains how he lost 46 pounds in a single camp.
The second format is reactions to UFC events. Paddy Pimblett reacted to Ilia Topuria's TKO loss and to what he calls the biggest upset in UFC history. He also went cageside at UFC 330.
The rest is lifestyle: the Champions League final, a tour of Philadelphia's best cheesesteaks, and a game where he has to identify UFC knockouts.
Why follow
The channel shows what a UFC fight camp looks like from the inside: diet, weight loss, training and fight week.
It also works for people who follow Paddy Pimblett for his personality, with videos that focus more on his life than on technique.
The camp videos also let you follow a UFC fight week from a fighter's point of view: end of camp, weight cut, final days, the fight and the day after. The video on the day after UFC 329, built around what he eats once the weight cut is over, closes out the series. For a fan who is new to MMA, it is a concrete way to understand what a fighter goes through around a card. The reaction videos show how he watches other fighters in the UFC.
MMA Official's take
We recommend Paddy The Baddy to Paddy Pimblett fans and to anyone who wants to see a UFC fighter's daily life during camp. If you are looking for analysis, this channel is not built for that.
Start with the UFC 329 series, from the end of camp through fight week, then watch the video on losing 46 pounds in one camp.
If you like quizzes, the video where he identifies UFC knockouts is a lighter way into the channel.
