Details emerge on Chimaev's severe weight cut issues before Strickland

Khamzat Chimaev experienced a dangerous weight cut before facing Sean Strickland, with T.J. Dillashaw revealing details from Sam Calavitta. Chimaev drank only one-quarter of the required water, vomited green bile, and was described as being on the verge of death. The situation was complicated by the fact that Chimaev has only half of his thyroid gland, which slows his metabolism significantly. Chimaev's team reportedly trusted someone other than Calavitta with the final portion of the weight cut, which led to the crisis.
