Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut for his bout with Sean Strickland went catastrophically wrong after his team hired a different specialist for the final stage instead of relying on Sam Calavitta. TJ Dillashaw revealed Chimaev drank only one-quarter of the required water, vomited green bile, and was on the verge of death. The situation was complicated by Chimaev having only half a thyroid gland, which slows his metabolism significantly. Chimaev approached fight week 16 pounds over the limit and at one point wanted to pay Strickland a million dollars to cancel the bout rather than continue the weight cut.
