Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him after the fight and informed him of his decision to move up to light heavyweight. This announcement comes following Chimaev's split decision loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 328. The move represents a significant weight class jump for Chimaev, who had been competing at middleweight. No specific timeline or opponent for Chimaev's light heavyweight debut was mentioned. This contradicts an earlier post suggesting Chimaev might seek a rematch with Strickland at middleweight.
