UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis is reportedly nursing an injury that will mean he doesn’t defend the belt against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 317, which was what the promotion was targeting.
For the longest time now, Dricus du Plessis has enjoyed proving people wrong. There are so many fans and critics out there who believe that he isn’t actually a good fighter, or that at the very least, he isn’t elite. Alas, he’s been able to prove those folks wrong time and time again, and he is currently riding high as the king of the middleweight division.
