[Screenshots courtesy: @ChampRDS on X]UFC analyst explains why a Khamzat Chimaev title win could hurt the UFC's middleweight divisionIf Khamzat Chimaev beats Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319, it could create a major scheduling problem for the UFC. Despite his dominance, Chimaev has fought just five times in four years due to recurring injuries and withdrawals.A championship reign demands activity, and Chimaev’s track record raises doubts about whether he can defend the belt consistently. UFC analyst Din Thomas believes a stalled division is the last thing the promotion needs. Speaking in an interview with Mike Bohn, Thomas said:"If Khamzat wins, it's a disaster. You can't tell me a part of you isn't just thinking, 'This fight might not actually happen.'... Some of these guys habitually struggle in just making it to the dance... I'm not going to be pessimistic about it and will say he's going to show up. But if he does show up and he's able to win, do we trust him to be able to show up and fight again? That's the thing." [H/t: MMA Junkie]He added:"Can he do it twice? Can he do it three times? Because we need movement. I hate when it's static and there's no movement in these divisions, and in order to be movement in the divisions, the champions have to fight."Check out Din Thomas' comments below (23:00):
