Dustin Poirier has alleged that Khamzat Chimaev did not properly make weight for UFC 328. Speaking on Ariel Helwani's podcast, Poirier stated that officials announced 185 pounds immediately when Chimaev stepped on the scale, before the hanging scale had time to balance. Poirier emphasized that hanging scales need time to settle and equilibrate before an accurate reading can be taken. The claim suggests potential irregularities in the weigh-in process. This adds controversy to an already high-stakes fight week.
