Khamzat Chimaev recently took a shot at those who predicted him to lose against Dricus Du Plessis.
Chimaev challenged Du Plessis for the middleweight title at UFC 319 in Chicago last month. While Chimaev was a heavy betting favorite going into the fight, there were a number of fans and pundits who expected the champ to defend his title with an upset win. The consensus was that Du Plessis would take over in the later rounds if he weathered the initial storm from “Borz.”
Many UFC fighters also predicted that Du Plessis would wear down Chimaev with his gas tank.
