Dana White has some ideas on the efficiency of Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319.
“DDP” tried to win his third title protection of the UFC middleweight title when he met Khamzat Chimaev final Saturday. As a substitute, he was defeated and managed via a five-round title battle in Chicago. Finally, Du Plessis made an unanimous resolution with a rating of 50-44 throughout the board.
At a postwar press convention, White opined that Duplesis couldn’t discover a solution to Chimef’s grappling onslage (through Mmafighting).
“I do not need to understand how tough they’re as a result of I do not understand how tough a hear (punch) is,” White joked. “Nobody needs to fall right into a cross that’s punched into such a head. It should be essentially the most irritating (place).
“Yeah, I am not saying he is placing the Pitter putter. His face was fairly arrested. The knees he had on his physique, legs and hips can be an extended trip into South Africa.”
After the battle, Duplesis tells Joe Rogan that he’ll return to the drawings, believing he can develop into a two-time UFC middleweight champion. So long as Chimaev controls the 185-pound division, it is going to be a troublesome sale for Duplesis. “Stillknocks” seemed to be much more overflowing within the grappling division, with only some successes close to the top of the battle.
Nonetheless, Du Plessis by no means lacked confidence and it will be fascinating to see how far he takes him within the face of adversity. As soon as he will get time to get better when he rests, his subsequent battle will develop into essential in his quest to regain his cash.
