Chimaev’s near-fatal weight cut sparks fraud accusations ahead of UFC 328

Khamzat Chimaev reportedly started fight camp nearly 50 pounds over the middleweight limit and struggled to make 185 for UFC 328 vs. Sean Strickland, with former champion TJ Dillashaw calling the weight-cutting method a “fraud” that nearly killed him, including claims of vomiting green bile and having a half-thyroid. Dillashaw’s remarks suggest the process was dangerously flawed, even as Chimaev performed competitively; post-fight discussion included potential moves to a lighter class or a rematch.

Du Plessis: Weight-Cut Excuses Are Ridiculous After UFC 328 Loss

Du Plessis dismissed Khamzat Chimaev's weight-cut excuses after UFC 328, arguing that a 12-pound cut in 24 hours isn't catastrophic and that blaming a weight cut won't excuse a loss; he praised Strickland's performance, questioned a quick rematch for Chimaev, and noted uncertainty about Chimaev's next move (including a possible move to 205).

Strickland's battered shoulder powers historic UFC 328 upset

Sean Strickland revealed a severe, multi-part shoulder injury—Type 2 AC separation, extended SLAP tear, and partial rotator cuff tearing/tendinosis—that left him compromised before his upset win over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328, an issue he says began with a sparring session with Johnny Eblen. Joe Rogan noticed the problem from cageside and said Strickland fought with one arm; after medical consultation, Strickland shared the injury details publicly, highlighting how he still pulled off the win.

Chimaev’s camp blames brutal weight cut for poor showing, demands Strickland rematch

Khamzat Chimaev lost a split decision to Sean Strickland at UFC 328, and his team claims a brutal 185-pound weight cut left him sluggish, with brother Artur saying his body shut down during the process. He allegedly dropped from about 231 pounds and only regained roughly 11–13 pounds by fight time. Talks of a move to light heavyweight circulated, but Chimaev posted a return and his camp says they’ve requested a rematch with Strickland, eyeing an Abu Dhabi event in October.
