Quick read
Dustin Poirier has publicly questioned whether Khamzat Chimaev legitimately made weight for his recent bout. Speaking on Ariel Helwani's podcast, Poirier stated that as soon as Chimaev stepped on the scale, officials immediately announced 185 pounds without allowing the scale to settle. Poirier emphasized that hanging scales need time to balance properly, suggesting the weight reading may have been premature. The allegation raises questions about weigh-in procedures and whether Chimaev was given preferential treatment. These types of weight-cutting controversies have become increasingly scrutinized in MMA, particularly when championship bouts are at stake.
