Khamzat Chimaev is planning to move up to light heavyweight (93 kg). The most interesting potential opponent mentioned is Jiri Prochazka, given their history and Prochazka's name value. The post raises concerns about Chimaev's chances at light heavyweight, noting he would lose his length and physical strength advantages that have served him well at lower weights. There are also health concerns about whether Chimaev can sustain cutting weight to fight at 93 kg when he would need to walk around at 105-108 kg. The analysis suggests Chimaev faces significant risks in this weight class transition and questions whether his body can handle the strain given his history of physical issues during weight cuts.
