Rockhold explained why Chimaev refused to cut weight before the fight with Diaz

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold spoke out about the Khamzat Chimaev failed to make weight before the fight with Nate Diaz. According to Rockhold, Chimaev saw a threat in Nate.

“It was like everything around him was putting pressure on him, because he knew that there was a guy like Nate Diaz that Chimaev could not control on the ground. He saw a threat in Nate Diaz. There is no doubt that Chimaev could fight Nate, but there was still danger. There was a lot at stake, so he was under pressure…”

Recall that the fight Chimaev - Diaz fell through due to the fact that Chimaev could not invest in the welterweight limit.
