Top UFC featherweight Lerone Murphy is picking Khamzat Chimaev to overcome UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319 and become the new king of the middleweight division. In an interview with Card Player, the British fighter said the following.
“Khamzat’s all gas on the pedal. Everyone’s saying if Khamzat wins he wins in the first round and if Dricus wins he wins later rounds. But I think you have to put more respect on Khamzat. He is not just going to gas out after the first round and give up if you don’t finish him.
