UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier has voiced support for middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev's interest in competing at light heavyweight. Cormier believes Chimaev's physique suits the 205-pound division after observing his sparring sessions. Meanwhile, discussions intensify around Chimaev's next title defense.
Nassourdine Imavov disclosed that the UFC had targeted December and February dates for his middleweight title fight against champion Khamzat Chimaev, but Chimaev's injury derailed the plans. The top contender emphasized his readiness for the bout despite recent developments in the division. Both fighters expressed mutual respect and willingness to compete if the UFC mandates it.
