Belal Muhammad believes that if Hamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland, he will receive a title shot in the light heavyweight division against Paulo Costa. Notably, Muhammad used the term "vacant" rather than "interim" when discussing the potential title bout. It is unclear whether this was an error or if Muhammad believes Carlos Ulberg's belt could become vacant if he is sidelined long-term due to injury. The speculation adds intrigue to potential future championship scenarios at 205 pounds, though the prediction involves multiple hypothetical outcomes.
