Quick read
Belal Muhammad believes that if Khamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland, he will get a light heavyweight title fight against Paulo Costa. Muhammad specifically used the word "vacant" rather than "interim," potentially suggesting that if Carlos Ulberg is sidelined long-term, the belt could become vacant again. This prediction assumes Chimaev successfully defeats Strickland in their upcoming matchup. The scenario would represent a significant division change for Chimaev, who has primarily competed at middleweight and welterweight.
