Quick read
TJ Dillashaw revealed details of Khamzat Chimaev's difficult weight cut before his fight with Sean Strickland. According to Sam Calavitta, Chimaev's team brought in a different specialist for the final phase, leading to improper water intake—he drank only one-quarter of the required amount. Chimaev vomited green bile and was on the verge of death during the cut. The situation was complicated by the fact that Chimaev has only half of his thyroid gland, which slows his metabolism significantly. Despite the ordeal, Chimaev entered the cage 16 pounds over the limit during fight week but still competed.
