Khamzat Chimaev reportedly cut 46 lbs ahead of UFC 328, including 29 lbs in the final 14 days leading up to the fight👀 A 46 lbs total cut is roughly 20% of his body mass. His reported timeline: ▪️ 231 lbs camp peak ▪️ 214 lbs two weeks out ▪️ 185 lbs on the scale ▪️ 11–13 lbs regained by fight night Khamzat’s reported 20% cut is more aggressive than the most-cited study on extreme MMA weight cutting (Kasper et al., 2019), the same study where the fighter still suffered acute kidney injury despite being medically monitored throughout the process. The research shows extreme cuts compromise: 🔻 Cardio and recovery between rounds 🔻 Kidney function and dehydration tolerance 🔻 Hormones tied to energy and recovery 🔻 Output once adrenaline fades Per his brother, Chimaev’s body “shut down” with 2.6 lbs remaining. The cut was paused for about an hour. After the scale, he reportedly put back on only 11–13 lbs by fight night. For context, studies show UFC middleweights on average regain around 18 lbs between weigh-ins and fight night. Chimaev entered the cage 5–7 lbs below a typical rebound. Then, less than 36 hours after his body quit on him during the cut, he stepped into a five-round championship fight. A split decision loss followed. Khamzat reportedly told Dana White he’s moving up to 205 lbs, yet reports are already surfacing that he’s “obsessed” with getting another fight with Strickland. Weight cutting in MMA is honestly one of the wildest parts of the sport ‼️
