Dana White addressed questions about why Khamzat Chimaev started at welterweight but now struggles to make middleweight. White explained that when success comes to a fighter, lifestyle changes make weight cuts more difficult. Despite these challenges, White stated that Chimaev has fully realized his potential. White noted that when you first see someone and think they're special, and they eventually become a UFC champion, that represents 100% realization of their abilities. This assessment came in the context of Chimaev's recent performance and career trajectory at UFC 328.
