A post-event analysis proposes that Khamzat Chimaev may have been preparing for a debut at light heavyweight (93 kg) but that plans shifted at the last moment.

The analysis also discusses the Van vs. Taira rematch potential and notes that Alexander Volkov has benefited from close decisions in recent fights. The post reflects on Chimaev's performance and the broader implications of weight class changes.
