Top ranked UFC welterweight Khamzat Chimaev might move to middleweight next, but an immediate shot at the 185 lbs title is out of the question according to the coach Bareman.

“Has Khamzat fought at middleweight yet? “We can’t be ridiculous,” Bareman said. “This is the most prestigious title in the sport, okay? Sometimes business takes precedent, I understand that. But you’re gonna give the guy a title shot?”
