Dana White revealed that Hamzat Chimaev approached him after his fight and announced his intention to move up to the light heavyweight division. The statement comes following Chimaev's recent performance at UFC 328. No specific opponent or timeline for the weight class move was mentioned in White's brief statement. This would represent a significant jump in weight for Chimaev, who has competed at welterweight and middleweight throughout his UFC career.
