Weighs in at 178.5 lbs, about 7.5 lbs over. Pathetic.

Really. Guess he should stay at 185 then.

Says Nate is no gangster, that he himself is, then misses weight by a lot. Roflmao

Lame. I watched from the weigh ins now too, with two hours left also... How much more could he cut, at least a couple more.

Anyway, disappointed.. i hope he is gone from 170 now then, he is too big for the weight class.

I’m disappointed as well, but not like Diaz never missed weight. DC says he’s hearing it’s a medical issue with Khamzat, still very unfortunate and should be better.

If he couldn't make weight by such a large amount, he won't be able to lose much more. If he has no medical issues, he may be able to lose a couple more lbs, but that would be it, I think.

I do not care who the fighter is, I always felt missing weight was extremely disrespectful. I personally never missed a single weight cut in my Judo career.



It will be very interesting to hear what the possible medical issue is. I personally can't think of one other than thyroid issues, but I am no medical professional whatsoever.

Something more to missing by so much? Injury? Doubt this'll happen unless Dana/UFC pay a ton lol

Chimaev isn’t going to try and lose any more

I have a feeling it won't happen either. 7.5 lbs is too much, in my opinion. The athletic board or some shit will probably step in.


I was just saying, if he were to attempt cutting more. I am very curious as to the medical issue that are possibly hindering his weight cut. I mean, it doesn't take much effort, aside from determination, to sit in a sauna or ice bath.
