Dillashaw: Chimaev's UFC 328 weight cut nearly killed him

T.J. Dillashaw claims Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC 328 weight cut was so extreme that he was nearly dying, with Chimaev allegedly vomiting green bile due to poor hydration and nutrition management. Strickland edged Chimaev by split decision to reclaim the middleweight title, and Dillashaw credits Sam Calavitta for proper weight-cut guidance while criticizing the rest of the camp. He argues Chimaev should stay at 185 (and pursue a rematch) rather than moving up until he’s properly rehydrated and trained, highlighting the dangers of improper water loss during fight week.
