UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis will face Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319. This will be an absolute barnstormer between two dominant forces in the middleweight division. Both fighters are known for their incredible athleticism, which has led to dominant finishes over the best of the division.
However, Du Plessis doesn’t believe that he will face the Russian-Chechen wrestler at UFC 319, as he stated on an Instagram story post.
“Guess I’m fighting Nassourdine Imamov.”
Nassourdine Imamov is set to be the main event’s backup fighter, and Khamzat Chimaev has a history of pulling out of fights.
