This isn’t something you see every day.
Ahead of UFC 279 in Las Vegas on Saturday, ahead of a fight against Nate Diaz, Khazmat Chimaev came in weighing in at 178.5 pounds.
I guess that wouldn’t be too much of a big deal … except that’s a whopping 7.5 POUNDS over the welterweight limit.
He was given one more hour to make weight, but I’m pretty sure it’s not humanly possible to shed 7.5 pounds in 60 minutes.
What’s more, Chimaev actually said, “Not bad!” after the weight was announced, which is just wild.
What will happen with this fight? We’ll see. Here’s some reaction from the UFC world:
