Khamzat Chimaev struggled significantly with his weight cut for UFC 328, barely hitting the 84kg mark. He appeared just 20 minutes before the weigh-in deadline and looked to be in poor condition. There are suggestions that he may not have actually made weight, with the commissioner allegedly recording the result before the scales properly balanced. The post also notes that the UFC 328 press conference was chaotic, with Sean Strickland repeating familiar insults rather than offering new material. Van and Taira remained relatively passive during the proceedings. The overall assessment is that the event was disappointing compared to classic confrontations.
