Kamaru Usman proposes Chimaev vs Ankalaev for light heavyweight title

Kamaru Usman has suggested that if Khamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland and defends his middleweight title, he should move up to light heavyweight to face Magomed Ankalaev. Usman's proposal comes in light of Carlos Ulberg's potential nine to twelve month injury absence. He believes either an interim title fight should take place at light heavyweight, or Ulberg should vacate the belt, setting up a Chimaev versus Ankalaev championship bout. This hypothetical scenario depends entirely on Chimaev first getting past Strickland in his upcoming middleweight title defense. The post seeks fan support for this potential matchup.
