Chimaev had weight cut issues before Strickland fight, brother reveals

Khamzat Chimaev's brother revealed that Chimaev experienced significant problems during his weight cut, with 1.2 kg remaining when his body gave out. A doctor was called, but they later decided to continue cutting weight. The brother believes the fight should have been canceled due to these issues. Despite the loss, Chimaev has requested a rematch with Sean Strickland in the fall at an event in Abu Dhabi.
