Dricus du Plessis is aware of that if you wish to be an MMA uncontroversial goat, it’s a must to go by Khazmat Chimaev.
UFC 319 locations the middleweight world title on the road towards Chicago’s undefeated Chechnya monsters, and “DDP” as soon as once more stepped into the highlight. It will likely be Duplesis’s third protection after a profitable match towards each Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland.
However this time, the South African sense is for testing, not like what he has confronted earlier than.
Chimaev has turn out to be one thing of a boogeyman throughout the Octagon since making his memorable Octagon debut in 2020. He then scored eight straights underneath the UFC banner, leaving a 14-0 report.
With that in thoughts, it is no shock that “Bols” is a two-on-one favourite to depart “Windy Metropolis” with UFC Gold wrapped round his waist.
However for Du Plessis, it simply means one other alternative to lift his P4P rankings to retire from in the future as the most effective blended martial artist of all time.
“Inform me this, the purpose will at all times stay the identical,” Duplesis advised Schmo. “To be the most effective factor to do with this sport. I can do the most effective I’ve ever achieved as a result of I take a look at the statue and it was the largest factor I’ve ever achieved. That is my want.
Like Chimaev, Duplesis enters UFC 319 and has the right report within the Octagon.
“DDP” is 9-0 regardless of opening as a loser in seven of his 9 profession fights within the promotion. Will he proceed to disregard the percentages on Saturday, August sixteenth? Solely time might be seen.
