Chimaev's weight cut nearly killed him, drank only quarter of required water

TJ Dillashaw revealed shocking details about Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut before the Strickland fight after speaking with Sam Calavitta. Chimaev trusted the wrong people for his cut, 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. Chimaev approached fight week 16 pounds over the limit and at one point wanted to forfeit, offering Strickland one million dollars rather than continue the cut.
