Dustin Poirier has publicly questioned the legitimacy of Hamzat Chimaev's weigh-in for UFC 328. Speaking on Ariel Helwani's podcast, Poirier claimed that the scales were announced at 185 pounds before they had time to balance properly. He emphasized that hanging scales need time to calibrate and stabilize before an accurate reading can be taken. Poirier suggested that the weigh-in process was rushed and that Chimaev may not have actually made the middleweight limit. The allegation raises questions about the integrity of the official weigh-in procedures. No response from UFC officials or Chimaev has been reported yet.
