Chimaev tells Tsarukyan he'd have to drop to 170 lbs for potential matchup

Khamzat Chimaev and Arman Tsarukyan engaged in a conversation about what weight class Tsarukyan could defeat Chimaev. Tsarukyan claimed he could beat Chimaev at 77 kg (approximately 170 lbs). Chimaev responded by saying he would "die" trying to make that weight, noting he hasn't competed at 170 lbs in ten years. The exchange appears to be lighthearted banter between the two fighters. Both currently compete in different weight classes, with Chimaev at middleweight and Tsarukyan at lightweight. No actual fight agreement or serious negotiation was indicated in the conversation.
