Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him after the fight expressing his desire to move up to light heavyweight. Chimaev told White he no longer wants to fight in his current weight class. White admitted he hadn't yet considered potential matchups for Chimaev at 205 pounds, but stated the move would be interesting. This represents a significant shift in Chimaev's career trajectory following his UFC 328 bout. White's comments suggest the UFC is open to exploring this weight class change for the fighter.
