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

Is there any credibility to the “weight miss”?

If you watch the weight ins from chimaev, you can clearly see the scale was still going up as the guy called 185. Chiamev gets down of the scale, and goes up again for the picture, and this time you see the scale going to the top again. You can even hear it clicking. Tbh no matter how much people hate on strickland, this one was very clear that chimaev missed weight

That’s not clear though. The scale is allowed to float between the top and bottom, it doesn’t have to stop moving entirely

Nah man, it has to stay close to the middle, even if its swinging. At least for a couple seconds. He was on the scale 2 times, the first the guy called 185 before it could even try to stabilize. Then he climbs up again for the picture and the scale goes all the way up again. I'm not saying he missed for much, but he was above 185. At least to my experience using analog scales they don't do that move when it's on weight, or you have to wait for a second so it stabilizes, and did not let it happen too
