Khamzat Chimaev, 28, lost the biggest UFC fight of his career after a massive weight failure.
Now it is being published by opponent Nate Diaz – and Conor McGregor.
“Get him out of the papers and let him starve.”McGregor writes.
Chaos arose before UFC 279 in Las Vegas where the Swedish star Shemaev’s puns He will fight against American legend Nate Diaz on the main card of the event.
This was not the case.
Shemayev missed his weight by more than three kilograms, prompting UFC President Dana White to act and demote him to a much less well-known fight against Kevin Holland.
“doesn’t belong”
The weight failure was the final straw for the UFC, after two chaotic days as they were forced, among other things, to cancel a press conference after a major fight broke out in the catacombs.
A runner that Dana White claims was started by Chemayev.
Now Nate sees the Swede, who accuses him of not being serious.
– He does not belong to this level. This stage is too big for him, Diaz says, and now we finally know why.
“Let him starve to death”
Even the legendary Conor McGregor speaks up and criticizes Chemayev. According to MacGregor, Shemayev should not be allowed to fight at all at the party.
“My opinion: they should have crossed out Shemayev altogether. Changing cards and giving the fighter who lost weight a new opponent easier will only lead to more people following his lead. He (Shimev) grinning when standing on the scale was enough for me. Taking him off the cards And let him starve to death.”McGregor writes.
UFC 279 takes place tonight, Swedish time.
