Quick read

Khamzat Chimaev appears to have reconsidered moving up in weight class based on his recent message to Sean Strickland. Chimaev wrote to Strickland that they will see each other again soon, suggesting he may remain at middleweight rather than moving to light heavyweight. This represents a potential change in plans following their UFC 328 bout. The post indicates Chimaev may be interested in staying at 185 lbs to pursue a rematch. Details about what led to this apparent change of heart are limited in the original post.
