Fans have been left stunned by images of Khamzat Chimaev's "heavyweight" physique as he teases a potential switch to 185lb.
'Borz' has not fought since routinely choking out late replacement Kevin Holland during a catchweight clash in September, and is back in training ahead of a potential return. Chimaev was set to face UFC veteran Nate Diaz in his final fight at 170lb, but was unable to make the weight limit despite a dramatic attempt to cut in the final hours before the weigh-in.
After struggling significantly to bring down his weight, many inside the sport have suggested that Chimaev should now make the leap to 185lb where new champion Alex Pereira now holds the title. In perhaps the biggest hint yet that he could make the switch, Chimaev posted an image of his larger-looking ripped physique on Instagram while training in the gym.
