Sean Strickland may have walked away with the win at UFC 328, but he's not letting the weigh-in controversy slide.

The former middleweight champion defeated Khamzat Chimaev via split decision in Newark, New Jersey, but Strickland is convinced the now-ex-champ never actually made weight for their title fight. According to Strickland, the official weigh-in was anything but legitimate.

During Friday's weigh-ins, Chimaev was the last fighter to step on the scale inside the two-hour window. While the New Jersey State Athletic Commission recorded him at the 185-pound limit, many observers—including Strickland and his camp—believe the scale never settled properly before the reading was declared official. Chimaev, looking visibly drained, weighed in wearing only briefs.

"He one thousand percent missed weight," Strickland said during the post-fight press conference. "We had a guy from my camp watching him get on the check scale. When he stepped on, his whole camp said, 'F*ck.' And they dragged him up because he was running out of time."

The implications are significant. If Chimaev had missed weight, he would have been stripped of the title, making it available only for Strickland to win. Additionally, the fighter who misses weight typically forfeits a percentage of their purse to their opponent—a penalty Strickland feels he's owed.

"I should get 20 percent (of Chimaev's purse). What the f*ck, dude?" Strickland said.

Strickland also had a message for Chimaev regarding his grueling weight cuts: move up in weight class. "If that weight cut's killing you, go to f*cking 205. Enjoy life. It's way easier competition."

UFC CEO Dana White, however, distanced himself from the controversy, stating that everything was handled according to the rules by the New Jersey State Athletic Commission. Whether fans believe that or not, the debate over the scale at UFC 328 is far from settled.
