Chimaev tells Dana White he's moving up to light heavyweight

Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him after the UFC 328 fight and stated his intention to move up to the light heavyweight division. Chimaev expressed that he no longer wants to compete at middleweight. This announcement comes immediately following his split decision loss to Sean Strickland in the middleweight title fight. The move would represent a significant weight class jump for Chimaev, who has previously competed at both welterweight and middleweight.
