Dricus Du Plessis could be confronted with the winner of Nassourdine Imavov vs. Caio Borralho, and he made a prediction.
Imavov and Borralho will inform UFC Paris on 6 September. “The Sniper” will have fans in ACC0R Arena by his side and he is currently a small gambling favorite. These figures are a crucial competition in the middleweight division, because an impressive show from the winner can lead to a UFC Middleweight Championship chances.
The ruling 185-pound title holder is Du Plessis, and he is intrigued by the matchup between Imavov and Borralho. During an interview with CBS SportDu Plessis shared a prediction for the fight that you might be surprised (via Inappropriate).
“Imavov has put some work and Caio Borralho I judge him, I think he is a really good hunter,” Du Plessis told CBS Sports. “I think Caio Borralho beats Imavov in my opinion. I think he’s more all-round. None of those fights makes me really enthusiastic now. I fight Khamzat Chimaev (Saturday). That’s the only thing that makes me enthusiastic now.”
On Saturday, Du Plessis will put his middleweight gold at stake when he meets the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev. The title fight will be UFC 319 in the United Center in Chicago Koppen. “Still Knocks” tries to secure his third successful title defense, while Chimaev tries to get the most out of his first UFC option option.
The winner of Saturday’s collision could very well fight against the winner of the UFC Paris Headliner or Reinier de Ridder. During the same interview with CBS, Du Plessis admitted that he does not feel sufficient to justify a championship in Robert Whittaker’s victory over Robert Whittaker. Ultimately, that will be a decision that the UFC makes and it can amount to the performance of the winner of Imavov vs. Borralho.
