Chimaev barely makes 84kg weight limit, appeared late and unwell

Khamzat Chimaev struggled to make the 84kg weight limit for UFC 328, arriving just 20 minutes before the deadline and appearing in poor condition. There are suggestions he may not have actually made weight, with a commissioner allegedly recording the result before the scales balanced. The weigh-in issues raise concerns about Chimaev's condition heading into his fight with Sean Strickland. Dana White reportedly advised Dillon Danis not to attend the upcoming event due to risk of confrontation with Chimaev's team. The post also criticized the recent press conference, comparing it unfavorably to the classic McGregor-Nurmagomedov promotion, describing it as resembling a Call of Duty lobby rather than professional fight promotion.
