Former UFC Champ Outlines How Dricus Du Plessis Can Defeat Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319

Dricus du Plessis stands the best chance of beating Khamzat Chimaev by dragging the undefeated Chechen monster in the later rounds.

At least, that’s what former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold thinks.

“Khamzat is very good at wrestling, very good on the ground, very good at pressure,” Rockhold told The Schmo during a recent interview. “The longevity of the fight hasn’t been his best approach. With DDP, he don’t go away. So unless Khamzat gets to him early, it’s going to be tough late. If he doesn’t put him away early, it’s a DDP-type of fight.
