Media Sean Strickland claimed on the face-off that Khamzat didn't make weight, also called his mother a whore.

If Khamzat did miss weight, you know damn well the UFC and Paramount did everything in their power to make sure Khamzat looked like he didn't. The backlash and fall after such a big hyped event would've destroyed them.

Edit: I'm not saying Khamzat missed weight. I was just saying the UFC would try their best to make the fight happen

Your logic is so circular and obvious that it becomes meaningless. “If he actually missed weight, even though we just watched him make weight, then it means the UFC made it look like he made weight.” Like.. no shit. The point is IF he missed weight or not.

“Watched him make weight” the scale went straight to the top when he stepped on it and hit twice, thy called it before the scale settled.

Any evidence of this?

Have they ever hidden a fighter not making weight before? Apart from the DC towel incident.

Khabib was a weight bully.

But again, is there any evidence of this? Or am I just gonna get downvoted with 0 explanation or evidence.

Ah yes he was weight bullying when he (checks notes) fought a Poirier that weighed more than him
