Chimaev and Tsarukyan debate potential catchweight bout at 77kg

Khamzat Chimaev and Arman Tsarukyan engaged in a conversation about what weight class Tsarukyan could defeat Chimaev. Tsarukyan claimed he would beat Chimaev at 77 kilograms (approximately 170 pounds). Chimaev responded by saying he would "die" trying to make that weight, noting he was last at that weight about 10 years ago. The exchange appears to be a lighthearted back-and-forth rather than a serious fight negotiation. No actual bout has been proposed or scheduled between the two fighters.
