Joe Rogan offered his analysis of Khamzat Chimaev's performance against Sean Strickland at UFC 328, suggesting that weight issues played a significant role. Rogan noted that Chimaev had been bulking up in preparation for a potential light heavyweight title fight with Jiri Prochazka before being redirected to face Strickland at middleweight. This theory was supported by earlier rumors and confirmation from Chimaev's sparring partner Khalil Rountree, who mentioned the Prochazka preparation in an interview conducted well before the Strickland fight materialized.
