Stephen Thompson: ‘I don’t even understand why’ Khamzat Chimaev is still a welterweight

BAD MMA News — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 21:04:16 +0000

Stephen Thompson thinks Khamzat Chimaev should move up to middleweight. Chimaev missed weight by 7.5 pounds for his welterweight bout against Nate Diaz at UFC 279 in September. Due to the big miss, Chimaev ended up drawing Kevin Holland in a 180-pound catchweight bout instead and ran through him in Round 1 . With Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) currently being linked to a matchup with former title challenger Colby Covington, “Wonderboy” is surprised to see him stick around at 170 pounds. “From what I hear, he’s a very strong welterweight,” Thompson said in an interview with reporter James Lynch .
