Chimaev turned many fans into haters last week after his bizarre actions ahead of UFC 279. The Chechen-born Swede missed weight by a whopping 7.5 pounds for his scheduled welterweight bout against Nate Diaz. The incident jeopardized the event, which was only saved by a reshuffling of the card. He ended up facing Kevin Holland in the co-main event. Worse, Chimaev tried to downplay his mistakes and made it clear that he didn't care about the opinion of fans. Needless to say, the undefeated rising star turned into one of the biggest villains in the UFC over the weekend.

Once a generally beloved fighter, the 28-year-old is now one of the most hated athletes on the UFC roster. Chimaev was showered with boos and jeers throughout the event. However, Chimaev stressed that fan sentiment is the least of his concerns. During the UFC 279 post-fight press conference, the undefeated welterweight star said: "You care about that sh*t? I don’t care. I care about my family. I care about my career. I care about my money. ... One day they’re with me, one day they’re not with me. So, I’m real, guys. So, I like the people that are real. Not fake people going one way or going the other way." Check out the interview below: Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by C. Naik × Feedback Thank You!
