One of the MMA legends is distrust that middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis is a loser to Khamzat Chimaev.
Dana White recently announced that Du Plessis vs. Chimaev will be headlined for UFC 319 on August 16th in Chicago. At this point, Chimaev is a betting favorite over “Stillknocks.”
UFC Hall of Fame Michael Bispin is amazed at the odds of those.

Michael Bisping was surprised by the UFC 319 odds
Current UFC analysts have admitted to their YouTube channel that they have not seen Dricus du Plessis undergo treatment for the vulnerable (H/T MMAFighting).
“The fact that they have Doricus Duplesis as the underdog,” Bispin said. “The guy can wrestlers, he has great jiu-jitsu. He’s big in his weight class and, more importantly, he has a gas tank.
“The second time Kamezat made the decision was when he failed to score a finish in the first or second round. That was when Gilbert Burns began to take over. Kamal Usman had a lot of success and resolved the score. Broken, don’t fix it.”
Chimaev has shed tears throughout his professional MMA career as he has not been defeated until this point. On his latest outing, he quickly submitted former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whitaker. Many experts feel that Chimeh’s aerobic exercise is tested, so if the fight reaches the deep sea, things can really be interesting. Du Plessis proves he can maintain pressure in five rounds.
