Watch: Khabib Nurmagomedov Takes a Sigh Of Relief After Hitting The Defined Mark at UFC 254 Weigh-ins

Khabib Nurmagomedov Kicked-off the official weigh-in segment of UFC 254. The fighter apparently went through a rough weight cut.

Ahead of the Saturday’s much anticipated clash with Justin Gaethje, UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov evidently was dependent on two officials at the weigh-in session, who held a towel for him, as he approached the weight scale.

While the undisputed champ seemingly could not afford to carry the weight of any piece of cloth, he however was successful in hitting the designated mark of 155 lbs.
