Carlos Ulberg, the third-ranked UFC light heavyweight, commented on rumors that middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev might take his title shot and become a participant in the fight for the vacant light heavyweight belt.

"He's too small. Stay in your weight class, brother, do your thing there, and I'll do mine here. The light heavyweight division is mine!" said the New Zealand fighter in an interview with Combat Sports.
