UFC CEO Dana White has dismissed the controversy surrounding Khamzat Chimaev's weigh-in for UFC 328, bluntly calling the online speculation "f–king stupid."

The drama unfolded during Friday morning's official weigh-ins in New Jersey, where Chimaev appeared visibly drained and unsteady as he stepped onto the stage. The Chechen fighter, known as "Borz," approached the mechanical beam scale, and moments after he stepped on, a commission worker announced his weight at 185 pounds. But eagle-eyed fans noticed something odd: the scale's beam hadn't even settled before the weight was called and Chimaev stepped off.

The internet erupted with accusations that Chimaev might have missed weight. Even his opponent, Sean Strickland, joined the chorus of doubters. Speaking at the UFC 328 post-fight press conference, Strickland claimed his camp had someone watching Chimaev on the check scale. "His whole camp said 'F–k!' and they dragged him up because he was running out of time. He 1000% missed weight," Strickland alleged.

But White wasn't having any of it. When asked about the controversy at the post-event media scrum, the UFC boss was quick to shut down the rumors. "You know the New Jersey State Athletic Commission oversees the weigh-ins, right?" he fired back. "Jeremy Stephens missed weight by four pounds and they had to cut a deal, but for Khamzat they're just going to let him not make weight? Jersey and New York are two of the toughest commissions in the country. The internet is f–king stupid, I don't know what to tell you other than that."

When pressed about why the commission still uses old-style mechanical beam scales instead of digital ones, White simply shrugged off the question, making it clear he saw no merit in the conspiracy theories.

For Strickland, who ultimately lost the fight, the weigh-in controversy adds another layer to an already heated rivalry. But for White and the UFC, the message is clear: trust the commission, and don't believe everything you see online.
