Khabib missed weight and Fight Island officials allowed it

MMA fans have questioned the lightweight champion's appearance as he stripped down to barely (no pun intended) make 155llb, looking drawn and pale on the scales. Conspiracy theorists have even suggested the 32-year-old failed to make weight altogether.

Anyone here after watching Oliveira miss weight?

[bailey.]

i’m just here after charles missed weight and to prove how bullshit it is he lost his belt because of it.

[lacosax]

So it was okay for Khabib to miss weight ?

[Comedyhacks]

He quit fighting cause he didn’t want to move up to 170 and making 155 was getting to hard

[PrabirTa]

Sadly, Charles Oliveira wasn't fighting at Brazil as he would have the same privilege as Khabib with his Abu Dhabi privilege. 😂😂

Who is here after Charles missed the weight and was stripped of his title😢

[Indycarfanatic]

This is the worse thing about Khabib. Would love to see him fight at welterweight or even 185. If he’s the monster he claims to be he should roll guys at that weight. Given he’s missed weight multiple times for huge fights proves he isn’t only a LW and could fight at higher weighs.

[KTMGUNNER]

He's a weight bully plain and simple

[rylandbrown]

This needs more views…. Special treatment much

[ciaagent]

I remember this specifically because Gaethje's went downward and he weighed something like 153-154lbs. Khabib went on and it shot upwards (faster than Oliveira's mind you) and the time that passed between when they flipped the lever for Khabib's scale, to the time the official said he "made weight", was 1.5 seconds... That's all the time they took for him to make weight while the scale shot upwards, confirming he was well over. He should have been stripped too.

now they did the same with Chimaev for 308...

[nickholland]

Look at his reaction. He knew we was over. Khabib couldn't make LW any more so instead of moving up a wt class and challenge himself he went running. Used his dad as an excuse to quit bc he was scared to lose

[junctionleet]

He weighed 190 on fight night ( according to his own team! ) and was fighting guys who were getting up to 176. Weight cutting is an absolute disaster in the UFC. The only legit champs they've had were mighty mouse, gsp and shogun - they all actually fought at their weight.

I'd it wasnt on fight island it wouldnt be as sus but the fact that it's in Abu Dhabi and khabib is a highest star in the middle east and he looked surprised as fuck when he made Weight is suspect to me

[JesseStevenTrumm]

Drives me crazy during his retirement speech he demanded to be placed number 1 pound for pound overall. I truly hate when I hear some people calling him the goat. Not even top 5 of all time

[oleschmeed]

I truly believe this is why he retired. He knew he was heavy, you could see his relief and almost shame when they called 55. He knew he couldn't make the weight anymore (barely could ever really) and his zero would go bye bye 1st fight at 170. Padded af record early (fighting in dads promotion, where he picked his sons opponents) and missing weight or pulling out faking injury cause he couldn't make the weight. That's his legacy.

[redlizerad]

I just realized both Charles and Khabib basically missed weight against Gaethje. That’s kinda interesting

[احمد-فذم]

That's ridiculous let Habib fight overweight in championship fight but Olivera loses his title for just half of pound, he was many fights over weight

[doomsday]

Theey did the same thing for Islam now. Great.

[UrvaH-Saqafi]

I’m a khabib fan but yea khabib clearly misses the weight here!
