Khamzat Chimaev sent "you won't come back" warning message by ex-UFC champion

Khamzat Chimaev has been warned by UFC legend Henry Cejudo that he must "get his s*** together" after his scandalous weight miss ahead of UFC 279.

Chimaev came in over the welterweight limit by 7.5lb ahead of his first pay-per-view main event against Nate Diaz, and was subsequently placed into a different match-up with fellow division hopper Kevin Holland. He made quick work of Holland in front of a hostile crowd, and is still unsure as to where he will end up in the promotion.

The Swede started his run at middleweight, but moved down to welterweight with just a week's notice to face Rhys McKee after his quickfire win over John Phillips in 2020. He has since jumped between the divisions, although 170lb appeared to be his home despite previous issues with the weight.
