Khamzat Chimaev appears to have changed his mind about moving up in weight, writing to Sean Strickland that they will see each other again soon. This suggests Chimaev may pursue an immediate rematch at middleweight rather than move to light heavyweight as previously indicated. The message came after Chimaev's split decision loss to Strickland at UFC 328. Earlier reports had suggested Chimaev would move up to 205 pounds following the defeat. The post provides limited details about whether this is a firm decision or just social media banter.
