Khamzat Chimaev's brother disclosed that Khamzat experienced serious problems during his weight cut before UFC 328. With 1.2 kilograms remaining to lose, his body began shutting down and a doctor was called. After some time, the decision was made to continue cutting weight and he successfully made weight, though his brother believes the fight should have been canceled. According to the brother, Chimaev has requested a rematch with Sean Strickland for October in Abu Dhabi. The details provide insight into the physical toll of the extreme weight cut that may have affected Chimaev's performance.
