However, there is one condition that UFC President Dana White has set for the potential matchup. Chimaev has missed weight in the past, and White wants to ensure that the fight is fair and competitive. He has stated that he would only entertain the idea of the fight if it takes place at 185 pounds, a weight class above the welterweight division.
While Usman has been eyeing another shot at the welterweight title, he has called Chimaev out for a catchweight fight. The two fighters have been going back and forth on social media, with Chimaev stating that he is willing to fight Usman at 175 pounds or 185 pounds, while Usman has been adamant about the catchweight fight.
