Shamil Gaziev confirms he weighed 140kg before training camp, now at 119kg

Shamil Gaziev confirmed he weighed 140 kilograms before beginning his training camp for UFC Perth. The heavyweight responded to critics who believe heavyweights don't cut weight, stating he has been on a diet for the last six weeks. According to his social media post, Gaziev now weighs 119 kilograms and expects no problems making weight. In a recent interview, he had discussed his weight outside of fight preparation. The 140kg figure represents his weight before camp began, not his typical walking-around weight.
