Head Coach Khamzat Chimaeva
Andreas Michael commented on the incident with the fighter’s failed weigh-in before the UFC 279 tournament.
The Chechen-born Swedish fighter failed to make weight and was pulled from the fight with Nate Diaz.
“They came to my room in the middle of the night and told me that Khamzat had problems, health issues. We were all scared, we called a UFC doctor. And the doctor, after a thorough examination, said that he would not advise us to continue losing weight. And when a doctor tells you that, you’re scared, aren’t you?
He had muscle spasms, tremors, vomiting. When he got up, he passed out, — quotes the words of the trainer The MMA Hour.
Michael noted that he could not risk Khamzat Chimaev’s health in the long term. So, on the advice of a doctor, Michael asked the fighter to stop losing weight.
