Khamzat Chimaev has apparently changed his mind about moving up in weight class after UFC 328. Following the event, Chimaev sent a message to Sean Strickland indicating they will meet again soon. This suggests Chimaev may be reconsidering his previously stated intention to move to light heavyweight. The tone of the message implies Chimaev is interested in a rematch at middleweight. No official announcement has been made about a second fight between the two. The post indicates this was a direct communication from Chimaev to Strickland.
