While it was a nice victory that saw Chimaev retain his undefeated record, he wasn&#8217;t supposed to face &#8216;Trail Blazer&#8217; that night. He was originally slated to face Nate Diaz at UFC 279.<\/p>\n<p>However, the fight was scrapped after the Chechen fighter badly missed weight. Following UFC 279, Dana White indicated that Chimaev would likely move up to middleweight. However, he&#8217;s since reversed course.

There, he opined that Chimaev should likely be fighting at 185-pounds moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>The longtime UFC veteran also gave his take on Khamzat Chimaev&#8217;s latest win over Kevin Holland. While he praised the victory, he also questioned the decision not to touch gloves in the opening seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-389556 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Stephen-Thompson.jpg\" alt=\"Stephen Thompson\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Stephen-Thompson.jpg 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Stephen-Thompson-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom what I hear, he\u2019s a very strong welterweight,\u201d Thompson stated. \u201cHe should be at 185.

That\u2019s gonna be a fun fight [against] somebody who\u2019s as strong a wrestler as Khamzat. But the thing is, is he gonna make weight?

He\u2019s very scrappy on the ground. He really is; Kevin is. Which was kinda messed up, he goes in to give him a high five and he [Chimaev] shoots right in for the legs, ends up taking him down.
