Details have emerged about Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut before the Sean Strickland fight. Chimaev drank only one-quarter of the required water, vomited green bile, and was near death during the cut. His team used a weight-cutting specialist other than Sam Calavitta for the final phase. Chimaev's half thyroid gland slowed his metabolism, complicating the process, and he offered Strickland a million dollars to cancel the fight before ultimately making weight.
