Jiri Prochazka mentioned as potential opponent for Chimaev at light heavyweight

Following Khamzat Chimaev's announcement about moving to light heavyweight, Jiri Prochazka has been identified as the most interesting potential opponent. The matchup carries built-in history between the two fighters and would be a high-profile fight. However, concerns are raised about Chimaev's prospects in the 205-pound division, where he would lose two key advantages: his reach and physical strength. Analysis suggests fighters at light heavyweight will all be over 190cm tall and physically strong, limiting Chimaev's ability to dominate physically as he has at lower weight classes. Questions also remain about his health given recurring issues during weight cuts, and whether adapting to fighting at 93kg while potentially walking around at 105-108kg could cause additional systemic problems for his body.
