TJ Dillashaw disclosed details about Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut before the Sean Strickland fight, stating Chimaev was vomiting green bile and near death. Dillashaw explained that Chimaev's team disregarded nutritionist Sam Calavitta's water loading protocol during the final stage of the cut, and Chimaev drank only a quarter of the required water while cutting four times the intended amount at once. Chimaev, who has only half a thyroid gland and slower metabolism, approached fight week 16 pounds over the limit but nearly refused to continue the cut.
