Kamaru Usman suggests Hamzat Chimaev should fight Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight title. Usman's scenario envisions Chimaev defending his middleweight title, then moving up in weight. With Carlos Ulberg potentially sidelined for 9-12 months due to injury, Usman proposes either an interim light heavyweight title bout or having Ulberg vacate the belt entirely. In either case, Usman believes Chimaev versus Ankalaev would be the appropriate matchup at 205 pounds. The post asks readers whether they would support this scenario if Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland first.
