Chimaev appears to reverse weight class decision, hints at Strickland rematch

Hamzat Chimaev appears to have changed his mind about moving up in weight. He has sent a message to Sean Strickland stating that they will see each other again soon, accompanied by smiling and winking emojis. This suggests Chimaev may be interested in a rematch with Strickland rather than pursuing fights in a higher weight class. The post indicates a shift in Chimaev's immediate plans, though no official announcement has been made. The message was communicated directly to Strickland, making the callout personal and direct.
