Chimaev moving to light heavyweight with Prochazka suggested as opponent

Khamzat Chimaev is moving up to light heavyweight (93 kg), with Jiri Prochazka suggested as an intriguing matchup given their history. The analyst expresses skepticism about Chimaev's chances in the heavier division, noting he will lose two key advantages: reach and physical strength. Concerns are raised about whether Chimaev can handle cutting from 105-108 kg to 93 kg, especially given his history of health issues and weight cut problems. The post suggests that fully adapting to the new weight class could take years, and questions whether the transition might damage his long-term health. The decision is framed as high-risk: either stay at middleweight with stricter regime management or risk losing aura with a second consecutive defeat in a new division.
