Khamzat Chimaev, UFC middleweight champion, revealed when he will move up to the light heavyweight division.

“In my weight category, there are Imavov, Strickland, Hernandez... Anyone, it doesn't matter who to fight. All possible options look like a big check, good money. But I want to have only one fight in this category and then move up to light heavyweight,” said Chimaev in an interview with ESPN.
