Khamzat Chimaev approached Dana White after his recent fight and stated he wants to move up to light heavyweight and no longer compete at middleweight. White confirmed the conversation and acknowledged he had not yet considered specific opponents for Chimaev at 205 pounds, but finds the prospect of Chimaev moving to the division interesting. This marks a potential turning point in Chimaev's career as he looks to escape the challenges of middleweight. Further details on timing or matchmaking were not provided.
