Kamaru Usman believes Khamzat Chimaev should fight Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight title under specific circumstances. Usman suggests that if Chimaev wins and defends his middleweight title, then moves up in weight, and if Carlos Ulberg is out 9-12 months due to injury, either an interim title fight should happen or Ulberg should vacate. In that scenario, Chimaev versus Ankalaev would be Usman's preferred matchup for the 205-pound championship. The post is purely speculative, contingent on Chimaev defeating Sean Strickland first.
