White explained that when success comes to fighters, lifestyle changes complicate weight management. Despite these challenges, White stated that Chimaev has fully realized his potential. White expressed that when you first see someone and think they're special, and they ultimately become a UFC champion, that represents 100% fulfillment of their potential.
