Dricus Du Plessis has his eyes fixated on only one opponent. And that is none other than Khamzat Chimaev . With the mega fight coming up soon, Du Plessis ensures his training remains on point. However, he seems to be aware of Chimaev’s tendency to get injured and pull out of crucial fights. And thus, ‘Stillknocks’ knows exactly what to do in such a scenario.
Khamzat Chimaev has a history of pulling out of his fights. The most recent example was when he failed to show up initially against Robert Whittaker. Speaking on the same, Du Plessis stated that he is willing to wait in such a case. The UFC middleweight champion also pointed out that he will not be fighting the backup, Nassourdine Imavov. Terming Chimaev was the best fight for him, but Du Plessis seemed to be pretty much egged up.
