Eddie Alvarez doesn’t see himself betting against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319, but that doesn’t mean he’s counting out Dricus Du Plessis.
Emanating from the United Center in Chicago, Du Plessis will put his middleweight world title on the line against ‘Borz’ on August 16 in a bout that seems to have the MMA world split down the middle. On one hand, you’ve got a champion who has repeatedly defied the odds. Then there’s Chimaev, an undefeated Chechen monster with 12 finishes against 14 total wins.
Who comes out on top is anyone’s guess, but ‘The Underground King’ finds himself leaning towards Chimaev ever-so slightly.
