Khamzat Chimaev is moving up to light heavyweight following his loss to Sean Strickland. The most interesting potential matchup is against Jiri Prochazka given their history and Prochazka's name value. The analyst expresses skepticism about Chimaev's chances at 205 pounds, noting he'll lose his key advantages of reach and physical strength against larger opponents. Concerns exist about whether weight-cutting from 105-108 kg to 93 kg could further strain his health given past issues. The move carries significant risk of losing aura with a second consecutive defeat, though the analyst hopes to see a newly dominant Chimaev at light heavyweight. Adapting fully to the new weight class could take years.
