Dana White addresses Khamzat Chimaev’s weight miss: ‘Yeah, it’s a problem’

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.
