according to Chimaev's coach they were on course to make weight and the night before Chimaev started vomiting and having problems. there was a social media post of some fan saying they saw Chimaev in a restaurant for hours eating and drinking sparkling water that same night. so basically Holland and Diaz made him stress eat the night before he had to weigh in, and because he ate so much ****** food he made himself sick.
