Quick read
TJ Dillashaw learned from Sam Calavitta that Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut for the Sean Strickland fight nearly killed him after trusting the wrong people during the final stage. 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. He cut four times the necessary weight in one session and wanted to forfeit and pay Strickland one million dollars rather than continue.
