Khamzat Chimaev and Arman Tsarukyan engaged in a playful exchange about a potential matchup between them at 77 kilograms. Tsarukyan claimed he would defeat Chimaev at that weight, saying "At 77 kg I'll beat him." Chimaev responded dismissively, stating he would "die" trying to make 77 kg and that he hasn't competed at that weight in about 10 years. The conversation highlights the significant size difference between the two fighters, with Chimaev currently competing at middleweight (84 kg) and welterweight (77 kg), while Tsarukyan fights at lightweight (70 kg). The banter appeared lighthearted and was not presented as serious fight negotiation.
