Following his UFC 328 loss, analysis suggests Khamzat Chimaev faces significant challenges if he moves to light heavyweight. The post argues Chimaev would lose two key advantages—length and physical strength—against larger opponents all standing over 190cm. Jiri Prochazka is mentioned as the most interesting potential matchup. Concerns are raised about Chimaev's recurring cardio and health issues, questioning whether they stem from years of overtraining or something congenital. The writer notes it could take years for Chimaev to fully adapt to the new weight class and expresses skepticism about his chances despite fan interest in seeing him face top light heavyweights.
