"Hunter, I was in his office not too long ago. And they keep record of all the weights on fight night. They don't release them all but they keep it. And we were talking about the Islam fight, when I fought Islam. And he was telling me his weight, and I was like, 'That's insane.'... 192 [pounds] or something, something around there. I was 176."
"I've never weighed more than 80 kg, ever."
Dustin Poirier alleged that UFC matchmaker Hunter Campbell revealed Makhachev weighed approximately 190-192 pounds on fight night during their lightweight title bout at UFC 302, suggesting a 35-pound weight gain after the 155-pound weigh-in. Poirier stated he himself weighed only 176 pounds for the same fight. Makhachev disputed these claims, asserting via Telegram that he has never weighed more than 80 kilograms (approximately 176 pounds). The UFC maintains records of fighter weights on fight night but does not publicly release them. Makhachev defeated Poirier via submission in their matchup.
