UFC star Paddy Pimblett gave fans a rare peek behind the curtain in a darling post showing his daughter having some water fun. The mother-father duo opted for a cuter vibe with a rather simple-but-adorable inscription saying, “My little water baby’s loving life ❤️.”

From the get-go, people showered Pimblett with compliments for being such a good dad. One wrote, “Paddy is such an amazing dad vro.” Another commented, “Beautiful family you have brother ❤️.” To attest to this, the comments section was filled with adulation, showing that even the toughest fighters somehow turn all mushy when talking about their children.
But since it’s Paddy Pimblett we’re talking about, not every comment stayed on wholesome. Some could not resist bringing up his infamous weight fluctuations. “Idk how you gain THAT weight in no time,” one person joked about Pimblett’s very evident habit of gaining pounds between fights. Another opined quite seriously, “Belly isn’t out in full, the man’s cooking something up,” wondering how soon a big cut could be coming.
Then, the fight buffs who never took a sip of water because they thirsted for news! “Deserved son fight news soon hopefully 🙏🏻🙏🏻,” wrote one hopeful. Another got straight to the point: “Hey Paddy champ! Gamrot is calling you to a fight. Are you keen?💪 🇵🇱🏆.” And of course, one couldn’t resist sneaking in some trash talk: “awesome enjoy vacation with your beautiful family! before Arman destroys you.”
Amid the madness, one comment stood out, giving a tug on the heartstrings. “Your Paddy man!!!! Proud you🔥❤️ I wish my twins are alive 😢,” a fan expressed, showing just how deeply Pimblett’s story has touched some.
To say the least, others found it funny enough to stir a laugh. “Those girls look like they’re going to be sooo sassy and cheeky 😂😂 I love it,” a user joked, while another claimed to have spotted him: “Seen you paddy, jogging down that path at the back of the hotels with your headphones on pal, in Paphos 😀👌🏻.”
Then came the supporters from the other side: a French-speaking fan wrote, “Tu à une très belle famille,” which means, “You have a very beautiful family.”
Pimblett has always lingered long and controversial in MMA—loved by many, hated by others. But this post reminded fans that beyond all the pugilistic theater, he was really just some guy dad hanging out with his kid. One thing is for sure: whether he’s worrying about cutting weight, calling out any other opponent, or just having fun messing around in the water, Paddy Pimblett certainly knows how to keep people talking.
Though the post contained no great fight announcements or training updates to speak of, it did something far better—it allowed for a glimpse of the less-glamorized life of the fighter that fans rarely witness. Already judging by the amount of reactions posted, fans relentlessly adored every bit of it.

While the foreseeable goal in MMA circles remains to have him make the next move, Pimblett seems quite happy soaking up family-time, that is, until the next training camp starts. When it does, trust me, the whole internet will erupt for it.
