Khamzat Chimaev's brother revealed Chimaev experienced serious weight cut issues before UFC 328, with his body shutting down when 1.2 kg remained. A doctor was called, but they decided to continue cutting weight despite concerns the fight should have been canceled. Chimaev successfully made weight but his brother believes the damage was done. According to the report, Chimaev has now requested a rematch with Sean Strickland for an October event in Abu Dhabi. The weight cut complications may have significantly impacted Chimaev's performance in the fight.
