Ultimately, Chimaev hit the scale at 178.5 pounds — a full seven and a half pounds over the limit for a non-title fight at welterweight.
“We knew he was having trouble cutting weight early,” White revealed at the UFC 279 post-fight press conference. “We knew he was going to miss weight. This all happened, and we had to deal with it. I just couldn’t wait to get tonight over with.

UFC president Dana White addressed the situation during a press conference after the pay-per-view.
“I guess ever since COVID, they started this thing where they get the fighters right out of here. I don’t know why that happened or what happened,” White said. “I mean, we’re not throwing Johnny Walker out in the street shoeless, I’m sure.”
Informed there was a photo of Walker outside without shoes on, White said, “So we f–kin threw him right out on the streets, huh? It’s rough around here. I don’t know.”
Bummer. I just heard someone talking about Bill Hicks the other day and how he died at 32 from pancreatic cancer. I remember hearing that a long time ago, but it didn't seem all that sad to me when I was 19 years old and 32yo seemed like it might as well be 100. Now that I'm in my late 30s, it's more of a tragedy.
This is shity, he was a canadian favorite.

A seal isn't gonna beat a trained MMA fighter in an MMA match any more than the MMA fighter is gonna beat a seal in a no rules fight to the death. The whole thing is dumb and the marine corps shouldn't have been subjected to that kind of embarrassment even if the marines in question probably had a great time.Marines aren't Seals. Plz go back to England.
