Dana White Urges Khamzat Chimaev to Defend at Middleweight Before Moving Up

White cooled Chimaev’s double-champ talk, saying he wants the middleweight king to defend before chasing new belts. “I’d like to see him defend his title before he talks about jumping around,” White said. “You’re gonna keep going up in weight divisions without defending?” Chimaev has teased bigger fights at light-heavyweight, but White signaled the UFC prefers stability at 185 first.
