Kamaru Usman believes Khamzat Chimaev should fight Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight championship. Usman suggests that if Chimaev wins and defends his middleweight title, then moves up in weight, and with Carlos Ulberg potentially sidelined for nine to twelve months, there could be an interim light heavyweight title fight or Ulberg could vacate. In that scenario, Usman proposes a bout between Chimaev and Ankalaev for the 205-pound belt. The post asks fans if they would support this matchup if Chimaev defeats Sean Strickland.
