Quick read
Khamzat Chimaev's brother disclosed that Chimaev experienced serious weight cut issues before his fight, with his body giving out when he had 1.2 kg remaining to lose. Medical assistance was called in, but the decision was made to continue cutting weight and complete the process. According to his brother, the fight should have been cancelled due to the severity of the situation. Chimaev has now requested a rematch with Sean Strickland for the fall at an Abu Dhabi event. The weight cut complications may explain performance issues during the actual fight.
