"Coming from you? F**k you!" - Fans slam Khamzat Chimaev for posting image of Mike Tyson that reads "Be Real"

Khamzat Chimaev appears to have lost favor with fans owing to the sequence of events leading up to UFC 279. 'Borz' recently uploaded a picture of Mike Tyson with the legendary boxer's t-shirt reading &quot;Be Real.&quot;Khamzat Chimaev@KChimaev2142188https://t.co/d2u2Rjv9YuChimaev missed weight by a big margin for his UFC 279 clash against Nate Diaz, which led to the reshuffling of the entire card. 'Borz' will now face Kevin Holland in a 180lbs catchweight bout, after the two started a backstage brawl that snowballed into the cancelation of the UFC 279 pre-fight presser. Prior to this, Chimaev also had a run-in with Paulo Costa at the UFC Performance Institute where he allegedly confronted 'Borrachinha' with no real intention of fighting.Known for being one of the most confident fighters on the UFC roster, fans now believe Chimaev talking about being real is a show of double standards. @TheeInsideSc00p commented on the Swede's post:&quot;Coming from you?

According to White, 'Borz' was already lean enough on the day prior to the weigh-in and started exhibiting signs of a bad weight cut when he started cutting further. White said on SportsCenter:&quot;If you saw him yesterday, he was very lean already and he should have come in on weight. He started to cut weight and he started locking up and cramping and all the things that are from a bad cut. Unlike 10 years ago, we send in a doctor and they determine whether he will keep cutting weight and the doctor told him he shouldn't.&quot;Watch the clip below:
