There were lots of articles and speculations that Khamzat Chimaev never made weight at 185 for his bout against Sean Strickland.
Whether that is true or not, there is no debate that losing the weight was a struggle for him. He’s already talked to Dana White about moving up to light heavyweight at 205 pounds.
So, who will be his next opponent? One natural opponent would be Carlos Ulberg, but he’s currently injured.
The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag opened odds for Chimaev’s first opponent at 205 and Jiri Prochazka is the favorite.
