Chimaev emotionally walks back light heavyweight move, wants Strickland rematch

Khamzat Chimaev has apparently changed his mind about moving up to light heavyweight and now wants an immediate rematch with Sean Strickland. The post asks whether this decision is justified or if moving up in weight class would be the better option. Chimaev lost a split decision to Strickland at UFC 328 in a middleweight title fight. Prior to the bout, there had been speculation that Chimaev would move to 205 pounds. The post frames this as an emotional reversal rather than a definitive decision. No official statement from Chimaev or the UFC has been confirmed.
