Quick read
Belal Muhammad believes that if Hamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland, he will receive a title fight at light heavyweight against Paulo Costa. Belal specifically used the word 'vacant' rather than 'interim' when discussing the potential championship bout. It is unclear whether this was a mistake or if he is speculating that Carlos Ulberg's injury could force the belt to become vacant. The scenario assumes Chimaev would successfully move up to 205 pounds and immediately compete for the title.
