How to explain Khamzat Chimaev’s huge hiccup at the weigh-in? Is it voluntary to avoid the fight against Nate Diaz or purely a physical failure? On the sidelines of all the speculation that fuses, a voice could reveal the end of this story after having rubbed shoulders with “Borz” the day before the weight measurement. Explanations.
Terror of the octagon and still undefeated in the cage in 11 fights, Khamzat Chimaev literally shook the UFC world by not validating his weigh-in against Nate Diaz. “Borz” actually showed up with 3 to 4 kilos overweight on the scale, making his opposition against the Brooklyn gangster impossible. In the end, he will have to settle for a duel against Kevin Holland in the co-main event, which is pretty well overtaken.
This quack still seems surreal as the deadline was important for the Swede. If Khabib Nurmagomedov allowed himself to trash Khamzat half-word, other personalities are literally crying out for manipulation to “erase” this duel: how can a professional fighter miss his weight so much on a date scheduled months in advance? A voice, certainly quite unexpected in the UFC sphere, came to bring some information that could shed light on this strange weighing.
The crucial information of “Kylie Kicks” on Khamzat Chimaev
I met Khamzat Chimaev. He spent hours in a restaurant drinking soda water [pétillante] and (possibly) eat the night before the weigh-in and now he is unfortunately missing his 2.5 kilo weigh-in. I was worried all night when I saw this. I hope the fight will take place tomorrow [finalement déplacé contre Kevin Holland, ndlr]. Khamzat was very kind to me and the fans, but I found it strange to see him not worrying about his water intake and eating out a few hours before the weigh-in. #UFC279
Don’t get me wrong, and even though the Instagram account in question is called “Mini Khabib”, it’s not Hasbulla Magomedov’s. It is actually Kylie “Kicks”, a young influencer passionate about UFC who gravitates in a rather impressive way in the sphere of the championship. She has already met most of the big stars on the circuit, enough to give strong credibility to her comments on Khamzat Chimaev, who, according to her, succumbed to a call from a restaurant the day before his weigh-in.
The sparkling water combo + appetizing food in the restaurant got the better of Khamzat Chimaev? According to the young Kylie “Kicks”, who pays great attention to her image in the UFC sphere, this is in any case what she saw the day before the famous weigh-in.
