Khamzat Chimaev appears to have changed his mind about moving up to light heavyweight. Following his loss at UFC 328, Chimaev wrote to Sean Strickland indicating they will see each other again soon. This message suggests Chimaev is interested in an immediate rematch rather than changing weight classes. The statement contradicts earlier indications that Chimaev would move to 205 pounds after the middleweight title fight. The brief social media exchange leaves the exact nature of Chimaev's plans uncertain, but a rematch appears to be on his mind.
