Chimaev barely makes 84kg weight limit, appearing 20 minutes before deadline

Khamzat Chimaev struggled to make the 84-kilogram weight limit for UFC 328, arriving just 20 minutes before the deadline and appearing to be in poor condition. There are questions about whether he actually made weight, with a commissioner allegedly recording the result before the scale fully balanced. The weigh-in difficulties raise concerns about Chimaev's condition heading into his bout with Sean Strickland. The post also notes that the recent press conference was poorly received compared to classic events like McGregor versus Nurmagomedov, with Strickland repeating familiar insults and both Taira and Van appearing uninvolved. Additionally, Dana White reportedly advised Dillon Danis to avoid attending the event due to safety concerns from Chimaev's team. The post mentions Aleksandr Koplov as an underdog against an opponent with a Jon Jones tattoo, though details are limited.
