Analyst theorizes Chimaev was preparing for light heavyweight debut before UFC 328

An analysis of UFC 328 suggests Khamzat Chimaev may have been preparing for a light heavyweight debut before plans changed last minute. The post notes that Chimaev worked with top sports science professionals for this camp, making it unlikely their work would result in cardio lasting only one round. The analyst also discusses how Chimaev's aura was damaged when he repeatedly extended hands and hugged Strickland after all the pre-fight trash talk, especially since he ended up on his back in round two. The post compares the Asu Almabayev vs. Tatsuro Taira fight to "Moreno vs. Figueiredo for zoomers" and notes that Alexander Volkov continues to benefit from controversial decisions.
