Khamzat Chimaev’s, infamous weigh-in failure still haunts the fighter. However, it looks like Chimaev knows something the rest of us don’t. In a press conference, the fighter dropped some hints about his weight, and it couldn’t have been more cryptic.

The fighter missed making weight back in 2022 when he was meant to fight Nate Diaz. It didn’t make sense for such a professional to suddenly miss weight. Now, Chimaev looks back at it all and laughs because, clearly, there is more than meets the eye for the fighter. Here’s the whole take.

Khamzat Chimaev speaks about his weigh-in failure

A post on Instagram recently caught the attention of ‘Borz’ and he couldn’t help but laugh. The post had a clip of Chimaev talking about his weigh-in failure before the ambitious Nate Diaz fight. The fighters were meant to lock horns at UFC 279.

The two fighters were meant to go at it at welterweight but Chimaev couldn’t make it. So, he ended up picking up a win against Kevin Holland instead. That was a catchweight fight that Khamzat Chimaev won in the very first round within three minutes via a submission.

Clearly, the fans weren’t happy with the sudden changes in the card. In fact, some had interesting theories too. Insinuating that the whole thing was pre-planned is taking it a step too far. However, Chimaev’s comments regarding the incident made it all too suspicious.

“Everyone speak about why I didn’t make weight once in my life. And there was some plans to do that. No way, it’s not my plans but I can’t say everything here.” He says in the clip. Now, does this mean that there were some plans on the move, even if they weren’t Chimaev’s? Looking back on it all, the fighter couldn’t help but laugh.

Fans made up all sorts of theories, ranging from him destroying Diaz in the fight to how winning could look bad for a rising star.
