Chimaev barely makes weight at 84kg, appears 20 minutes before deadline

Khamzat Chimaev struggled significantly at the UFC 328 weigh-ins, arriving only 20 minutes before the deadline and appearing to be in poor condition. He barely made the 84-kilogram middleweight limit, and there are questions about whether he actually made weight properly, as the commissioner reportedly recorded the result before the scale fully balanced. His difficult weight cut raises concerns about his physical condition heading into his fight with Sean Strickland. Dana White has reportedly advised Dillon Danis not to attend the event due to potential retaliation from Chimaev's team.
