Dana White confirms Chimaev wants to move to light heavyweight after UFC 328

Dana White revealed that Khamzat Chimaev approached him immediately after UFC 328 requesting a move to light heavyweight. Chimaev explicitly told White he no longer wants to compete in the middleweight division. White admitted he hadn't yet considered specific opponents for Chimaev at 205 pounds but acknowledged the move would be interesting. The UFC president's confirmation came following Chimaev's loss to Sean Strickland at middleweight. This represents a significant potential shift in Chimaev's career trajectory and divisional competition.
