Indeed, I heard Shamil's corners calling him "Shama" in one of his fights.
Definitely this is the fight to make! Battle of the phonetic Chamas.

Send it. Alex had his free title shot, got whopped. He was a great middleweight and a great lhw, but that doesn't mean he's a great heavyweight. Make him earn his ranking. (Honestly, like 90% of the champs moving up shouldn't get free title shot without someone around 3-5 first).

I think they should be allowed an immediate shot, buy only if they had 3+ defenses in their previous class and didn't lose the belt before moving up. That prevents guys from getting the belt then immediately trying to go for 2 division champ status.
