Quick read

Khamzat Chimaev indicated he wants to move to light heavyweight after his UFC 328 bout against Sean Strickland. When asked about a potential interim title fight at middleweight, Chimaev expressed hope that Carlos Prates recovers quickly but stated he's not focused on what comes after Strickland. Chimaev called Strickland a strong opponent and good fighter despite the trash talk, saying he's fully concentrated on beating him first. He emphasized he doesn't care who comes next and will see what happens after the Strickland fight. The post suggests Chimaev is looking to move up in weight rather than remain at middleweight.
