Israel Adesanya Hints Khamzat Chimaev Could Eye Second Title Shot

Adesanya says he recently heard UFC middleweight (185-lbs) champion Khamzat Chimaev may move to light heavyweight (205-lbs), raising questions about activity at 185. “Apparently, Chimaev is going,” Adesanya said. Chimaev is 15-0, won the belt from Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319, and is currently scheduled to defend against former champion Sean Strickland on May 9.
