What was said
"He says on the day of the weigh in, about 15 people came into the room where I was staying. I was in the sauna. My coach opened the door. 15 Chechnyans had come into the room."
Boys in the Back host Conner Burks reads out a translated Instagram account attributed to Dana White’s Contender Series fighter Namo Fazil, who alleges a group of around 15 men entered his room while he was cutting weight ahead of his bout. Fazil claims he was slapped twice and that a fight broke out, but no other parties are identified in the segment.
