Shamil Gaziev confirms he weighed 140kg before starting UFC 305 training camp

Heavyweight fighter Shamil Gaziev confirmed he weighed 140 kilograms before beginning his training camp for UFC 305, addressing speculation about heavyweight fighters' weight management. He clarified that the 140kg figure represented his weight before camp, not during preparation, and has been dieting strictly for the past six weeks. According to his social media posts, Gaziev currently weighs 119 kilograms and expects no issues making the heavyweight limit at Friday's weigh-ins. The Russian fighter emphasized that heavyweights do indeed cut weight, contrary to some assumptions. His weight-cutting process appears to be on track as he prepares for his UFC 305 bout.
