Sean Strickland: Khamzat Chimaev '1000% missed weight' for UFC 328
The UFC 328 main event between Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev wasn't without controversy and I'm not talking about the kick to the groin at the pre-fight press conference or the split decision scorecards . The biggest controversy came the day before the event at the official weigh-ins. Many, including newly crowned two-time middleweight champion, believe Chimaev failed to make weight.
They cite how quickly the weight was read after Chimaev stepped on the scales and the movement of the bar. You can judge for yourself after watching the video . "That F**king scale, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," Strickland said during the post-fight press conference while referencing the movement of the bar.
"He 1000% missed weight. "We had a guy from my camp was watching him get on the check scale. When he stepped on his whole camp said, 'f**k' and they dragged him up because he was running out of time.
He 1000% missed weight. " While Strickland said he doesn't care if Chimaev missed weight, he would have liked the 20 percent fine he would have collected. "I don't b*tch about it.
They're like, do whatever. Be a heavyweight I don't care. But, you know, at the end of the day, I heard he said he might want to move up to 205.
