With a lack of opponents on the horizon, Allstars Training Center head coach Andreas Michael has suggested that Khamzat Chimaev’s next fight should be at middleweight.
Michael suggested a title shot against Alex Pereira, who captured the middleweight title with a fifth-round TKO of Israel Adesanya a UFC 281.
The Swedish coach believes it would be an “amazing fight” and that Khamzat, who has struggled to make welterweight in the past, would have no problem making weight.
“We’re having a good camp here and we’re gonna do it again. We’re going to go to heavyweight,” Michael joked during a recent vlog in Dubai (h/t Drake Riggs of MMA Fighting).
