Dana White discussed why Khamzat Chimaev started at welterweight and now struggles to make middleweight, attributing it to lifestyle changes that come with success. White emphasized that Chimaev has fully realized his potential, saying when you first see someone and think "he's special," and they go on to become UFC champion, that represents 100% realization. The comments came at UFC 328 following Chimaev's split decision loss to Sean Strickland. White's remarks suggest he believes Chimaev has achieved what was expected of him despite the recent setback.
