Quick read
Belal Muhammad believes that if Hamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland at UFC 313, he will receive a title fight at light heavyweight against Paulo Costa. Muhammad specifically used the word "vacant" rather than "interim," potentially indicating he believes the belt will be vacated if current champion Carlos Ulberg is sidelined long-term. The post notes this speculation may be tied to Ulberg's injury situation. Muhammad's prediction suggests a scenario where Chimaev moves up to 205 pounds for a championship opportunity. The post seeks reader opinions on whether this scenario is realistic for the light heavyweight division.
