Chimaev requests move to light heavyweight after tough weight cut

Dana White revealed that Hamzat Chimaev approached him after his fight requesting to move up in weight. Chimaev told White he no longer wants to compete in his current weight class and wants to fight at light heavyweight. White admitted he hasn't yet thought about specific matchups for Chimaev at 205 pounds, but finds the prospect of his move to the division interesting. The request came following what appeared to be a difficult weight cut for the fighter.
