Chimaev requests move to light heavyweight division after UFC 328 loss

Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him after the fight and requested to move up in weight class. Chimaev explicitly told White that he wants to move to light heavyweight and no longer wants to fight at middleweight. White acknowledged he hasn't considered specific opponents for Chimaev at 205 pounds yet, but stated that the transition to light heavyweight is interesting. This represents a significant division change for Chimaev following his loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 328.
