Caio Borralho has outlined his vision for the middleweight division following the Chimaev vs Strickland bout. If Khamzat Chimaev wins, Borralho suggests the Chechen fighter should move up in weight, leaving the belt vacant for a rematch between himself and Nassourdine Imavov to determine the new champion. Alternatively, if Sean Strickland wins, Borralho argues he should be the next title challenger since he is the only top-five contender Strickland has not faced. Borralho asked fans whether his proposed scenarios make sense for the division's future.
