UPDATE: Khamzat Chimaev makes weight on second attempt at UFC 267, one fighter misses by 7.5 lbs

The two title bouts at UFC 267 were made official, with Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira both coming in at 205 lbs, and Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen coming in at 135 lbs. Unfortunately, two more fighters missed weight, including the much hyped Khamzat Chimaev.

The Sweden-based Chechen was the very last fighter to weigh in that window, and looked drained as he weighed in. He needed the towel — and was actually was making contact with it — but still weighed in half a pound over the welterweight limit.

He officially weighed 171.5 lbs on his first attempt, and will be given an extra hour to try and make weight.
