Kamaru Usman proposes Chimaev vs Ankalaev for light heavyweight title

Kamaru Usman suggested that Hamzat Chimaev should fight Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight championship. Usman outlined a scenario where Chimaev wins and defends the middleweight title, then moves up in weight. With Carlos Ulberg potentially sidelined for 9-12 months due to injury, Usman proposed either an interim title fight or having Ulberg vacate the belt. He then suggested Chimaev versus Ankalaev for the light heavyweight title. The post asked readers to indicate their support for this matchup if Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland. Usman's comments appear to be speculative matchmaking based on current circumstances in both divisions.
