Heavyweight fighter Shamil Gaziev confirmed he weighed 140 kilograms before beginning his training camp for UFC Perth. He addressed speculation about heavyweight weight cutting, stating he has been dieting for the past six weeks. According to his social media post, Gaziev now weighs 119 kilograms and should have no issues making the heavyweight limit of 120 kilograms. The fighter clarified that his previous comments about weight referred to his off-season condition, not his in-camp weight. The 21-kilogram reduction demonstrates the significant weight fluctuations some heavyweights undergo between fights.
