Dana White: Khamzat No Longer Wants to Fight at Middleweight

UFC President Dana White addressed reporters after UFC 328, revealing that former middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev no longer intends to compete in the 185-pound division.

The New Jersey fight night featured a middleweight title clash between Chimaev and Strickland. Strickland emerged victorious after a five-round battle in the Octagon. During the bout, the Chechen fighter appeared to lack the energy and freshness needed to dominate, a stark contrast to his previous performance against Dricus du Plessis.
