CONOR McGREGOR believes Khamzatchimaev should be AXED from UFC 279
After "smirking" on the weights, he was unable to gain weight in time for a "more favorable bout."
Conor McGregor believes KhamzatChimaev shouldn't be fighting at UFC Tonight
McGregor suggested that Chimaev pulled an unorthodox one yesterday, despite his weight.
Tonight's main event in Las Vegas saw Nate Diaz take on Chimaev.
The unbeaten welterweight weighed in at almost eight pounds more than the limit.
This forced UFC chief Dana White to make a quick reshuffle. Diaz will now face Tony Ferguson.
Chimaev is now paired with Kevin Holland, Daniel Rodriguez's original opponent, and Li Jingiliang, Ferguson's first foe.
Chimaev's inability to gain weight has definitely thrown the cat among the pigeons. All fighters are now ready to face another.
McGregor was not impressed when McGregor suggested that Chimaev had come in heavy on purpose.
He believes the brawler has a better fight tonight, and his smiles on the scales showed that he didn't care about disrupting the event.
McGregor believes that rival Chimaev should be expelled from the octagon.
The Irishman tweeted "My opinion, they should have pulled Khamzat completely from the card."
"Reconfiguring bouts and having a less favourable bout for the failed cutter will only encourage others to follow their lead.
"The smiles on the scale were enough for me. Take the card and starve. McG UFC.
McGregor has been long regarded as a possible opponent by Chimaev.
As Notorious searches for a new fight to win, Hasbulla is the only person he has been beefing against.
