A rising UFC competition medium weight thinks he knows the biggest mistake of Khamzat Chimaev.
Chimaev will challenge Dricus du Plessis on Saturday for the UFC Middleweight Championship. The title fight is planned to head UFC 319 in the United Center in Chicago. “Borz” has been perfect with regard to his record, but is this a test that will prove to be too much?
That is what UFC Vegas 109 believes Anthony Hernandez winner. Before his entry of the fourth round was finished about Roman Dolidze, “Fluffy” said Mmafighting.com That Dricus du Plessis will show Khamzat Chimaev that he is at a different level.
“I think DDP will surprise the world, man,” Hernandez told MMA Fighting. “He is a great mother*cker, he is f*cking awkward, he comes forward, he is not getting tired. Khamzat gets tired of little boys who were 155 people who went to 170. So I still have not really sold him.
“I know it’s good. I know he beat Robert Whitaker, but as I said, the old [fighters are] Very one -dimensional. They only have one tool. If you can get them on the floor, it usually seems that they have a bad night, and that is just the honest truth about how I have seen it come true. “
So far, Du Plessis has been able to beat the will of Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker and Sean Strickland twice. If he can add Chimaev to his resume, he may be in pound-for-pound discussion.
In the meantime, Chimaev has denied rumors who claim that he will retire if he beats du Plessis on Saturday. He told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that he wants to earn more money as a price fight, and retired would clearly not allow him to do that. If “Borz” can capture UFC Gold in Chicago, he has a number of worthy challengers ready to share the Octagon with him.
