Belal Muhammad: ‘Fat’ Khamzat Chimaev needs to start being more disciplined after UFC 279 weight miss

Belal Muhammad took aim at Khamzat Chimaev for missing weight at UFC 279.

Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) came in 7.5 pounds over the welterweight limit for his headliner against Nate Diaz, causing the top three fights on Saturday’s card at T-Mobile Arena to get a shakeup. Chimaev fought Kevin Holland in a 180-pound catchweight bout and tore through him with a first-round submission win. Muhammad has called out Chimaev on numerous occasions for a fight, but it never has materialized.
