Analyst suggests Chimaev may have prepared for 205lbs before last-minute change

MMA analyst Vlad Matveev has theorized that Khamzat Chimaev may have originally prepared for a light heavyweight debut at 93kg before plans changed at the last moment. This theory attempts to explain Chimaev's cardio issues that became apparent after the first round against Sean Strickland. The analyst noted that Chimaev trained under top-level sports science professionals, making it unlikely their work would result in just one round of cardio. The post also discusses the Pantoja vs. Taira rivalry and Alexander Volkov's recent judging controversies. Details about Chimaev's actual training camp remain limited in the original post.
