JRE MMA Show #188 with Paddy Pimblett
Joe Rogan talks with UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett about his Peruvian necktie win over Benoit Saint Denis, his feud with Ilia Topuria, brutal weight cuts, a career-threatening ankle injury and ideas for changing MMA rules.
The gist

Pimblett says Coca-Cola is his favorite drink; Rogan scoops Skippy peanut butter with dark chocolate, while Pimblett dips chocolate in Nutella and likes Ruffles.
-
Pimblett calls Cage Warriors Europe's best show and the route to the UFC; Rogan urges fight fans to get UFC Fight Pass.
-
Rogan says a hot bath may beat a sauna and suggests Epsom salts for magnesium; Pimblett says he can sweat out 14 to 15 pounds.
-
Rogan recommends Brooklyn's Peter Luger Steak House; Pimblett shares Supernatural Lager, which he invested in, saying it has 89 calories, 4.4% alcohol and B vitamins.

Pimblett credits Paul Reed with his weight cuts; when a DEXA scan showed 6 kilos of added muscle, Reed lowered protein and raised carbs.
