Paddy Pimblett had a front-row seat to watch his chicken wing eating record get broken by competitive eater ‘Beard Meats Food’.
In September, Pimblett shared footage taken at his favorite restaurant ‘Furusato’ where he attempted to break their record for the most amount of wings consumed, which was previously set at 36.
‘The Baddy’ ended up smashing the record by 11 as he devoured 47 chicken wings before cracking up his followers by ordering a dessert because he was still hungry.
Pimblett’s viral video attracted interest from ‘Beard Meats Food’, a competitive eater who has earned 4.46 million subscribers on YouTube by taking on food challenges all over the world.

In a video uploaded on Thursday, the competitive eater – real name Adam Moran – was 15 wings deep when Pimblett made a shock entrance to watch his record-breaking attempt.
The UFC star encouraged ‘Beard Meats Food’ to not only beat the record he recently set but to double the 47 wings he managed to scoff last month.
“If you don’t do double, I’ll be disappointed,” Pimblett said.
“47 I was nearly dying. I reckon you could do 96 or 100.
“If he doesn’t do 96, I won’t be happy.”
“I reckon he will double mine, easy.”
Pimblett knew that as soon as he set a new chicken wing eating record at the restaurant ‘Beard Meats Food’ would be in Liverpool beating it a few weeks later.
He added: “I said when I was doing it, ‘I know ‘Beard Meats Food’ is gonna get down and beat this. No one is ever going to beat him. Some weirdo would have to come in to beat you, lad.”
Pimblett led the round of applause when ‘Beard Meats Food’ managed 60 wings to break his record and set a new one that may be unreachable for the MMA fan favorite.
Just like the fighter did after his effort, Moran ordered some dessert before both men were given a congratulatory T-shirt from the restaurant’s owner.
Paddy Pimblett is open to fighting at welterweight in 2024
Pimblett is known for ballooning up in weight between fights.
It’s probably related to his competitive eating hobby, which has left him in a position where he doesn’t feel confident about making the lightweight limit before the end of the year.
The 155lbs contender recently revealed that the only way he’ll return to the Octagon in 2024 is if the UFC offers him a big-name fight at welterweight.
“It’s too late now to make lightweight for the UFC events at the end of the year,” Pimblett told the Liverpool Echo.
“I’d rather not kill myself trying to make weight – but if they want to get me Colby [Covington] or [Conor] McGregor at welterweight, I’d do it.”
“I’d fight either at welterweight because they aren’t massive welterweights. I don’t think many welterweights are that big compared to me. I only realized how big of a lightweight I am when I fought Bobby [Green].”
In July, Pimblett choked out Green inside one round at UFC 304 to crack the lightweight top 15.
It seems unlikely that UFC CEO Dana White will offer Pimblett either of the men he wants to face at 170lbs, as McGregor is sidelined until 2025, and Covington is linked to a fight with Ian Garry.
Fight fans should expect to see Pimblett back in action against his toughest opponent to date in the new year.
