Chimaev missed weight for his UFC bout. There is a 0:31
The UFC's scheduled main event is in danger after participant Khamzat Chimaev missed weight.
The two fighters were contracted for a bout to headline the UFC on Saturday. Chimaev weighed in at 178.6 pounds. He was 172 pounds.
The biggest fight on the pay-per-view card was in danger as of Friday morning.
This was supposed to be the last fight on the UFC contract for fan favorite Nicklas, and he was going to be a free agent this weekend. If he doesn't fight Saturday, what would happen to his contract?
One of the UFC's biggest rising stars is Chimaev, who was a -1000 favorite. Chimaev was supposed to win this fight, but the UFC booked him for a fight with a big star in order to get him.
Chimaev had a weird week. Chimaev got into a fight with Kevin Holland, who is on the UFC 279 card, before the news conference for the Daniel Rodriguez fight. Holland was kicking Chimaev during the fight. The news conference didn't happen.
Chimaev shrugged his shoulders and didn't show any remorse for the huge miss. He made a joke about missing weight on the social networking site.
Both fighters made weight. The two men weighed in at 170.5. Holland was the heavier of the two for their 180-pound catchweight match.
