Khamzat Chimaev's brother disclosed that the fighter experienced serious problems during his weight cut for UFC 328, with his body shutting down when 1.2 kg remained to be lost. A doctor was called, but they eventually decided to continue the weight cut despite the health concerns. The brother believes the fight should have been canceled given Chimaev's condition. According to the account, Chimaev has now requested a rematch with Sean Strickland for October in Abu Dhabi. The weight cut difficulties may explain Chimaev's performance issues during the fight itself.
