Former champion Strickland was the first fighter on the scale in Newark. He weighed in at 185 pounds. Champion Chimaev took his time and came in as the final fighter to weigh in. With only twenty minutes to go, he also made weight at 185 pounds, which made the fight official for tomorrow. For Chimaev, the fight against Strickland will be his first title defense.
