Usman suggests Chimaev vs Ankalaev for LHW belt if Chimaev beats Strickland

Kamaru Usman has proposed a light heavyweight title scenario involving Khamzat Chimaev and Magomed Ankalaev. Usman suggests that if Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland and decides to move up in weight, he should face Ankalaev for the 205-pound belt. With Alex Ulberg potentially sidelined for 9-12 months due to injury, Usman believes the fight could be for an interim title or that Ulberg could vacate the belt entirely. The post invites fan support for this matchup contingent on Chimaev's victory over Strickland. Details on timing or official UFC consideration are not provided.
