Belal Muhammad predicts Chimaev vs. Costa title fight at 205 if Chimaev wins

Belal Muhammad believes that if Hamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland, he will receive a light heavyweight title fight against Paulo Costa. Muhammad used the term 'vacant' rather than 'interim' when discussing the potential title bout. This could suggest that if Carlos Ulberg is out long-term, the belt might become vacant again. The scenario assumes Chimaev would move up to 205 pounds for the opportunity.
