Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him after the fight and stated he wants to move up in weight class and no longer wants to fight at middleweight. White admitted he hadn't thought about specific matchups for Chimaev at light heavyweight but expressed interest in the move. The UFC president's comments confirm Chimaev's desire to leave the 185-pound division following his loss to Sean Strickland. White made these statements in a post-fight interview at UFC 328.
