Belal Muhammad predicts Chimaev gets light heavyweight title shot vs. Costa if he beats Strickland

Belal Muhammad believes that if Hamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland, he will receive a light heavyweight title fight against Paulo Costa. Belal mentioned the title as "vacant" rather than "interim," possibly suggesting an error or anticipating that Carlos Ulberg's injury could vacate the belt. Muhammad's prediction envisions Chimaev making the jump to light heavyweight after a potential Strickland victory. The post questions whether this scenario is realistic for the 205-pound division.
