Then, at the weigh-ins, we saw Khamzat Chimaev miss weight. Specifically, while Diaz met the 171-pound welterweight limit for non-title fights, Chimaev hit 178.5, off by 7.5 pounds. This throws the match — Diaz’s final on his U F C contract — into chaos.
MMA writer Cole Shelton(opens in new tab) tweeted that someone in Diaz’s camp said “Khamzat fight’s not going to happen.” Diaz’s crew thinks Chimaev wasn’t even trying to make weight, and instead cheat. Shelton noted that the belief is that Diaz will fight Tony Ferguson, or he will walk.
This follows Chimaev’s very wild week. He got into a verbal tiff with middleweight Paulo Costa on Wednesday, and then on Thursday he got into a scuffle with Kevin Holland.
If Chimaev actually fights Diaz, he enters as the favorite, as DraftKings(opens in new tab) has him at the -950 favorite (wager $950 to win $100). Diaz is the underdog, at +650 (bet $100 to win $650).
