UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland says Khamzat Chimaev didnβt make weight for their UFC 328 title fight in New Jersey. Strickland said Chimaev got on the check scale and panicked and the UFC rushed him to the official scale because he was running out of time. Strickland added he didnβt complain and took the fight regardless but he is 100% sure Chimaev missed weight. #SEANSTRICKLAND #KHAMZATCHIMAEV

Those who bet on strickland running to the bank rnπ
I'm not a Sean fan, but I hate corruption. So thank you Sean
We all know it, which makes this W even sweeter
Sean should be getting 30% of khamzats purse as the cherry on top
When oliveira missed weight by a pound or something he got stripped. He wasnt popular enough. Two tier treatment
Real talk Dana should be giving Shawn a huge fucking bonus for taking the fight and not throwing a fit and letting the show go on and fighting at a huge disadvantage
Even a digital scale wouldnt determine your weight that quick.
This was a disgrace bg the ufc to allow a fighter to not make weight
Sean won even after they tried to give Khamzat advantages
Where all the Sean haters at that say he only fights influencers????
That's the reason why khamzat graciously accepted defeat and he himself wrap the belt to sean.
The one hair on Stricklands chin making me so madπ
It was similar to Khabibs weigh in against Gaethje. They're supposed to let the bar settle to determine the weight. The bar was still moving upwards, that means he was over 185. The same happened with Khabib in Abu Dhabi.
If Sean had lost and was saying this after the fight like he is now people would be talking crap saying he was making excuses. He said nothing and waitef till after he beat him up to complain. Much respect.
Ppl discount this guy WAY too much. I won big back during the Izzy fight. Heβs a real ass dude
Mind you, Charles was half a pound above weight and lost the title ππ
Bryce mitchell was one the first to speak of it before the fight
He has point , that was too quick for that kind of weigh machine
Of course he didn't and then nearly robbed Sean π. Time advancing stat π. Like Sean wasn't using footwork and Khamzat wasn't walking forward into jabs.
He never makes weight
