Shamil Gaziev confirms weight cut from 140kg ahead of UFC Perth

Shamil Gaziev confirmed he weighed 140 kilograms before starting his training camp for UFC Perth. The heavyweight fighter has been on a strict diet for the past six weeks to make the 120kg heavyweight limit. According to his social media post, Gaziev now weighs 119kg and does not anticipate any issues making weight. The disclosure addresses concerns some fans had about heavyweights managing their weight, with Gaziev clarifying that the 140kg figure was his out-of-camp weight. The recovery window in Australia is half the usual time due to the event location.
