Kamaru Usman proposes Chimaev vs Ankalaev for light heavyweight title

Kamaru Usman has suggested that if Khamzat Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland and decides to move up in weight, he should fight Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight title. Usman notes that Ulberg is potentially out for 9-12 months due to injury, creating an opening for either an interim title fight or a vacant title scenario if Ulberg relinquishes the belt. The post asks fans whether they would support this matchup if Chimaev successfully gets past Strickland. The proposal represents a potential path for Chimaev to become a two-division fighter.
