Can Chimaev become a double champ?

Only in a world where Jarel Meershart poses problems for Usman and Israel Adesanya. He doesn't.
 
He could.

But he still hasn't faced a top 10 guy in either division let alone a champion level guy. Now he gets another stepping stone, a top 8-12 guy I'd say. At least this proves he's way more legit than Sean O'Malley.
 
Yes. It’s kinda obvious at this point. Double champ with multiple defences in each div is the least I expect of him.
 
What has Khamzat shown that proves he can beat Costa, Romero, Whittaker, Cannonier, or any of the top guys at MW? Or even at WW. Can he beat Colby? Maybe. But we haven't seen him beat anyone good yet.
 
We've still seen nothing of him. That's like asking can Sean O'Malley be double champ after he ko-ed Wineland. Maybe, maybe not. Probably not.
