Dustin Poirier has alleged that Khamzat Chimaev did not legitimately make the 185-pound weight limit. Speaking on Ariel Helwani's podcast, Poirier stated that the official immediately announced 185 pounds as soon as Chimaev stepped on the scale, without allowing the balance beam time to settle. He noted that the scales used were balance beam scales, which require time to equilibrate before an accurate reading can be taken. Poirier's comments suggest the weigh-in may have been rushed or improperly conducted. The claim raises questions about the legitimacy of Chimaev's official weigh-in.
