Chimaev barely makes 84kg weight limit, appearing strained at weigh-in

Khamzat Chimaev struggled significantly at the UFC 328 weigh-ins, arriving just 20 minutes before the deadline and appearing in poor physical condition. The middleweight reportedly barely hit the 84-kilogram (185-pound) weight limit for his bout. Some observers noted that the commission official recorded the weight before the scale had fully settled, raising questions about whether Chimaev actually made weight properly. His diminished appearance and last-minute arrival suggest potential difficulties with his weight cut ahead of the Sean Strickland fight. The dramatic weigh-in adds another layer of intrigue to an already heated matchup at UFC 328.
