LAS VEGAS – Khamzat Chimaev might be done at welterweight, at least according to UFC president Dana White.
Despite picking up an ultra-dominant win over Kevin Holland, most of the talk around Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) still remains around what went down on Friday morning at weigh-ins and not at Saturday’s UFC 279.
The UFC star missed weight for what was supposed to be a welterweight main event bout against Nate Diaz. Chimaev missed weight by 7.5 pounds, which forced to cancel the fight against Diaz and triggered a shuffle in the top three matchups on the card, thus ending up with the Holland fight.
