Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him after the fight requesting a move to light heavyweight, stating he no longer wants to compete at middleweight. White acknowledged he hasn't considered specific opponents for Chimaev at 205 pounds but finds the potential move interesting. This represents a significant division change for Chimaev, who has previously competed at welterweight and middleweight. The decision appears to be driven by Chimaev's difficulties with weight cutting at middleweight.
