The next middleweight title fight could potentially be in the works.
Khamzat Chimaev dethroned Dricus Du Plessis via a dominant unanimous decision in the main event at UFC 319 on Saturday in Chicago. Chimaev has since teased a title defense against the new contender in the division, Reinier de Ridder.
Happy to oblige, de Ridder asked Chimaev to send a location.
De Ridder had already been rallying for the next title shot before that social media interaction. “The Dutch Knight” called for a clash against Chimaev at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi in October during a recent interview with MMAFighting.
