UFC Middleweight explains why he would rather fight against Du Plessis against Khamzat Chimaev

The long -awaited fight between the middleweight champion Dric Du Plessis (DDP) and the Khamzat Chimaev demolition ball eventually drops on UFC 319.

So far, DDP has had an incredible UFC official period, with 9-0 in the promotion and even recording middleweight gold against Sean Strickland.

On the other hand, Khamzat Chimaev has proven that he is one of the most frightening prospects that the sport has ever seen. With his fast and wrestling style, he has been a puzzle that no one has been able to solve yet.

The couple had been going on for a while octagon.

Caio Borralho would rather fight against Dricus du Plessis above Khamzat Chimaev

The number six arranged UFC Middleweight, Caio Borralho, has in one Interview with the SchMO That he prefers a fight with DDP instead of a matchup with Chimaev.

Borralho sees the fight with DDP as a more fan -friendly matchup that could possibly go longer and can make a more entertaining fight.

However, he believes that DDP is an underdog that goes into the fight, but the current champion has proven to him many occasions incorrectly.

He said: “I always bet against DDP and he always closes my mouth, but I feel that this fight can be as fast as the fight with Khamzat and Whittaker, as a finish in the first round or the beginning of the second round.”

Borralho Planned for Back -up Service on UFC 319

The possibility that DDP or Chimaev pull out is a factor for Borralho that is planned as the backup for UFC 319.

Borralho, however, is planned to combat the number one competition, Nassourdine Imavov, on 6 September in UFC Paris.

The fight has important title implications and the winner will probably get a title shot in their next outing.

Being the backup is a great risk for Borralho, because he has to be twice in the room of three weeks, a challenge that he is not afraid of.

He said: “I am still preparing myself for Imavov, that is the most important focus and for Dricus or Khamzat, it is just about that I stay in shape. I am ready to go five rounds of war and ready to get the title when the chance comes.”
