Dana White revealed that Hamzat Chimaev approached him after UFC 328 expressing his desire to move up in weight. Chimaev told White directly, "I want to move up in weight. I don't want to fight in this division anymore." White acknowledged he hasn't thought about specific matchups for Chimaev at light heavyweight yet, but finds the prospect of his move to that division interesting. The announcement follows Chimaev's recent fight at middleweight.
