@vexmmadaily: Khamzat Chimaev may have already gone through the toughest part of UFC 328 before even stepping into the cage. According to reports, Chimaev cut close to 46 pounds ahead of his title fight against Sean Strickland, and the weigh-ins showed just how brutal the process looked. Videos circulating after the scale appearance showed him looking visibly exhausted and drained, immediately raising questions about how much the cut may affect him on fight night. What makes it even more interesting is the matchup waiting for him. Sean Strickland is known for his pressure, cardio and ability to push a hard pace over five rounds. Against a fighter like that, recovery after a difficult weight cut becomes a massive factor. If Chimaev rehydrates well, he still remains one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport. But after a cut like this, all eyes will be on how he looks once that cage door closes on Saturday night. #UFC328 #KhamzatChimaev #ChimaevVsStrickland #UFC #MMA
