Kamaru Usman has proposed that Khamzat Chimaev should fight Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight title. Usman envisions a scenario where Chimaev defends his middleweight title and then moves up in weight. With current light heavyweight champion Ulberg potentially sidelined for 9-12 months due to injury, Usman suggests either making an interim title fight or having Ulberg vacate the belt. He then proposes Chimaev face Ankalaev for the light heavyweight championship, contingent on Chimaev defeating Sean Strickland first.
