Khamzat Chimaev: Khamzat Chimaev would receive from Dricus du Plessis “Mollywehne”, predicts the ex-UFC heavyweight: “Hits like Mack Truck”

The former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub recently shared his thoughts about a potential struggle between Khamzat Chimaev and the incumbent UFC middle weight champion DRICUS du Plessis.

Chimaev impressed the MMA world at UFC 308 with a dominant performance and submitted the former middle weight champion Robert Whittaker in the first round about Face Crank, a step that made the teeth of the Australian wrongly aligned. This spectacular victory consolidated Chimaev as the next title candidate, a position that UFC CEO Dana White confirmed. White explained that Chimaev will compete against the Du Plessis winner against Sean Strickland.

‘Stillkrocks’ should defend his title for the second time at UFC 312 in a highly expected rescue against knitting country after their intensive fight at UFC 297. The event will take place this weekend in the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.

In his podcast, Schaub put a potential showdown between Du Plessis and Chimaev, who supported the South African champion to do the work. Schaub pointed to Chimaev’s lack of experience in the later rounds and at the same time emphasized Plessis’ superior cardio and strength. He explained:

“So I think that you would give DDP the advantage Khamzat takes it all day and wins it). After the second, he really starts to reduce.”

He added

“DDP or knittedland could easily win this fight. Khamzat brings him out better in these first two rounds. The third, fourth and fifth would be a nightmare. These boys are so good – good luck to end them in the first or second round. Especially a guy like DDP who trusts the ground, larger than it, stronger and strikes like a Mack truck. I have DDP. “

Dricus du Plessis believes that Khamzat Chimaev deserves the title about Sean Strickland

In his most recent appearance at ESPN Africa, Dricus du Plessis revealed that he initially wanted to defend his middleweight title against Khamzat Chimaev, instead of giving Sean Strickland at UFC 312. the more deserved contender. You Plessis explained:

“I gathered for the Khamzat fight just because it was strike while the iron is hot, the hype was there. It would have been good for all of us. I would have preferred the KAMZAT fight. ”

He continued:

“I think he deserves more, even though he didn’t have that many fights. But if you look at Strickland’s last fight against Costa, this does not guarantee anyone, nobody, a title fight. That was super boring. I mean to see the fight that I was sitting there and thought: “What?” I mean, dominant performance of Strickland, but to see a terrible struggle. Then Khamzat comes in and does it to Rob as he did, I think that makes you jump the line. “
