    • How did Chris Weidman's attempt to take points away from Khamzat Chimaev instead end their match? The answer explains the unusual finish to an otherwise emphatic result: Chimaev's 10-0 technical-fall victory in the RAF Abu Dhabi main event on November 14, 2026. Weidman's unsuccessful scoring challenge supplied the last point, but Chimaev's wrestling had put him on the brink of victory before officials reviewed anything.
