In the world of combat sports, few things stir up as much debate as a disputed weigh-in—and the UFC 328 main event between Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev is no exception. While the pre-fight press conference featured a controversial kick to the groin and the fight itself ended in a split decision, the real fireworks exploded the day before at the official weigh-ins.

Strickland, now the newly crowned two-time middleweight champion, didn't mince words during the post-fight press conference. He believes Chimaev failed to make weight—and he's not alone. "That f**king scale, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," Strickland said, mimicking the rapid movement of the bar. "He 1000% missed weight."

According to Strickland, a member of his camp was watching Chimaev step onto the check scale. "When he stepped on, his whole camp said 'f**k,' and they dragged him up because he was running out of time. He 1000% missed weight," Strickland added. The speed at which the weight was announced and the bar's erratic movement have fueled speculation, leaving fans to judge for themselves from the footage.

Despite the controversy, Strickland insists he doesn't care if Chimaev missed weight—but he would have appreciated the 20 percent fine that comes with it. "I don't b**ch about it. They're like, do whatever. Be a heavyweight, I don't care," he said. "But at the end of the day, I heard he said he might want to move up to 205. You know, he should, dude. If that weight cut is killing you, go the f**k to 205. Enjoy life. It's way easier competition."

And it seems Chimaev might just take that advice. UFC CEO Dana White revealed after the fight that Chimaev told him he's moving up to the light heavyweight division. Strickland's response? "Because he missed weight. I should get 20 percent, dude. What the f**k."
