Chimaev’s body “disconnected” from its normal functioning: His brother revealed the details of the training sessions that prepared him for UFC 328. According to his brother, the intense weight-training sessions caused significant damage to Chimaev’s physical condition. As a result, his body essentially “disconnected” from its normal functioning before the fight against Shawn Strickland. The process of losing weight was carried out under harsh conditions, leading to severe exhaustion and a significant decline in his ability to function. Despite these serious consequences, Chimaev was still prepared to compete. However, his ability to function remains questionable. In modern MMA, weight-training remains one of the most risky aspects of training. In this case, it clearly played against Chimaev. Now, the key factor will be how quickly Chimaev can recover. Chimaev’s team is focusing on medical rehabilitation and adjusting his training regimen to minimize the damage caused by this difficult training process. The outcome of this fight against Strickland depends on how quickly Chimaev can regain his usual form and withstand the challenges posed by this experienced American fighter.
