Athletistic / Boxing / MMA Trainer Andreas Michael, who works with Chechen-born Swedish fighter Khamzat Chimaev, made no excuses for a failed weight run before the fight with Nate Diaz.

“For us, this camp started hard. It was also a problem for us. We were offered a fight against Diaz, and it was even earlier, in August. It turned out that it was too early. , because Khamzat was still overweight. Then they postponed it for ten days, and I think we just had a rough start to camp, we should have been more disciplined and kept our weight within reason to be close what he trains with and comes to camp with.

You can constantly look for excuses. In the end, I have no questions for Khamzat, he is an excellent fighter and I love him. But I admit that not preparing the weight on our part was very unprofessional. Anyone who cannot do this is a non-professional. I apologize to Nate’s camp. We were both forced to make weight, and we have no excuse,” Michael MMA Fighting quotes.
