Khamzat Chimaev successfully made weight for his upcoming UFC 328 middleweight championship fight, reportedly with significant difficulty. The weigh-in had been highly anticipated as Chimaev was one of the last fighters to step on the scale. According to reports, he came in at 185 pounds, confirming the bout would proceed as scheduled. The difficult weight cut suggests Chimaev struggled to reach the middleweight limit, which could be a factor heading into his title fight against Sean Strickland.
