Khamzat Chimaev is not taking a potentially career-altering mistake too seriously. At Friday’s official weigh-ins for UFC 279, the Chechen missed the weight by a lot, weighing in at 178.5 pounds, 7.5 pounds over the welterweight limit for his main fight against Nate Diaz.
Shortly after, Chimaev posted a doctored image on his social media with a doctored image of him and his training partner Darren Till. In the image, the two UFC stars appear to be considerably heavier than in real life.
The image was accompanied by a caption tagging Till that reads, “It’s her fault,” along with a laughing emoji.
The meme is consistent with Chimaev’s behavior at weigh-ins, where he shrugged and seemed to say “not too bad” when his official weight was read. ‘Borz’ also had an altercation with Diaz and others less than 24 hours ago that resulted in the cancellation of a UFC 279 press conference.
