Despite previous plans to move up to light heavyweight, Khamzat Chimaev has apparently had an emotional change of heart following his loss at UFC 328. The post suggests Chimaev now wants a rematch with Sean Strickland at middleweight rather than moving up in weight. This aligns with reports from his team requesting an October rematch in Abu Dhabi. The post poses the question to fans whether a rematch is justified or if Chimaev should proceed with his original plan to move up.
