Khamzat Chimaev is going to fight at middleweight for his next UFC appearance.
According to his coach Andreas Michael, ‘Borz’ has decided to move from welterweight to middleweight for now. Though the two-division marvel has competed at 170 and 185, his recent weight miss against Nate Diaz for their welterweight fight at UFC 279 this past September prompted a change in weight class.
“He’s getting strong for the new weight class,” said Michael in a recent interview with Submission Radio. “It’s middleweight, he’s going to fight at middleweight. But if the title comes at welterweight, miracles can happen — and they will happen.
