T.J. Dillashaw shed some light on Khamzat Chimaev’s secret weapon heading into his first-ever UFC title fight.
On August 16, ‘Borz’ will step into the main event spotlight at UFC 319, challenging reigning and defending middleweight titleholder Dricus Du Plessis.
As it stands, Chimaev is a 2-to-1 favorite to leave Chicago as the new 185-pound champion next month.
However, many suspect that the Chechen’s gas tank may not hold up against Du Plessis’ unrelenting pace and pressure. Once upon a time, Dillashaw was leaning towards ‘DDP’ in the highly anticipated title tilt, but all of that changed once Dillashaw introduced ‘Borz’ to former applied mathematics teacher turned strength and conditioning coach Sam Calavitta.
