Khamzat Chimaev responded to his critics who are not sold to him.
Chimaev will challenge Dricus du Plessis on Saturday for the UFC Middleweight Championship. It is a long -awaited title competition, and many have a hard time determining a winner. Those for DDP believe that his cardio will be a decisive factor in the survival of Chimaev. Fans and experts who go back “Borz” believe that his struggle will yield him his first UFC title.
As for those who remain skeptical about the viability of Chimaev as an elite middleweight champion, he had a few words for the no -sayers during the UFC 319 Countdown Show (H/T Championship).
“People say that Dricus has a good cardio, and people see me that ‘Khamzat is bad, he is hype’. How many years have I been UFC? Yet people say ‘he is hype’ …
[Robert] Dryus fought how many minutes. Dricus has been removed from Robert. Robert didn’t even get me one blow.
Everyone I fought, they say, “I’m preparing for a war.” Why would you prepare for a war, if you want to win, you have to prepare for Kill. ‘
Chimaev starts UFC 319 with a perfect Pro MMA record from 14-0. He has defeated the will of Robert Whittaker, Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns, but most agree that this will be his most difficult test so far. The champion of 185 pounds presents an uncomfortable fighting style and cardio at elite level. The Chimaev’s power and conditioning coach recently told reporters that he has faith in his hunter’s ability to maintain a fixed gas tank during the fight.
DDP has collected an impressive CV and beyond the will of Israel Adesanya and Whittaker. He also became twice better from Sean Strickland, with their most recent meeting on a large scale for ‘Still Knocks’.
At the moment, Chimaev is a gambling favorite above Du Plessis, who has attracted the attention of UFC Hall of Famer, Michael Bisping. We will soon find out if the odd makers were correct.
