Hamzat Chimaev was the final fighter to step on the scales for UFC 328 weigh-ins. The Chechen-born Swedish fighter successfully cut a total of 21 kilograms (approximately 46 pounds) to make weight for his bout against Sean Strickland. The significant weight cut underscores the physical demands Chimaev endures to compete in his division. While dramatic weight reductions are common in MMA, a 21kg cut represents a substantial portion of body mass to shed before fight night.
