Dana White addressed why Hamzat Chimaev started at welterweight and now struggles to make middleweight. White explained that when success comes to a fighter, lifestyle changes complicate weight management. However, White confirmed that Chimaev has fully realized his potential. The UFC president stated that when you first see someone and think they're special, and they eventually become UFC champion, that represents 100% realization of their abilities. White's comments came in the context of Chimaev's announcement about moving to light heavyweight. The post provides limited additional details about White's full perspective on the situation.
