Quick read
Belal Muhammad believes that if Khamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland, he will get a light heavyweight title fight against Paulo Costa. Muhammad used the word "vacant" rather than "interim," possibly suggesting that if Carlos Ulberg is out long-term, the belt will become vacant again. This represents a potential scenario for championship movement between divisions. The prediction assumes Chimaev's victory over Strickland and Ulberg's extended absence. The speculation highlights ongoing discussions about fighters moving between weight classes for title opportunities.
