Who could forget the moment when Khamzat Chimaev picked up Li Jingliang during the first round of the fight and while Li Jingliang was hanging in the air, the Borz started talking to Dana White, asking the UFC head honcho to give him top opponents and choked the Chinese fighter to win the bout in the same round. Since then, Khamzat Chimaev has finished his next two opponents in round 1. The latest opponent was former middleweight champ Robert Whittaker, whose jaw alignment was shattered by Chimaev in round 1 to become a top contender in middleweight.
So far, only two fighters have survived the first round on-slaught of Khamzat Chimaev, Gilbert Burns, and former Welterweight champ Kamaru Usman. After a dominant win against Robert Whittaker, it becomes a topic of discussion whether the middleweight champ, Dricus du Plessis, is good enough to survive Khamzat Chimaev’s wrestling skills in the initial rounds.
Middleweight champ Dricus du Plessis is known for his odd fighting style, and despite looking tired till the end rounds of the fight, he manages to finish the fight in his favor. His last fight against former champ Israel Adesanya ended with the reigning champ making the “Laststylebender” tap by a spectacular rear naked choke. That was the first time Israel Adesanya was lost via submission.
So far, Dricus du Plessis is undefeated in his UFC career, and Khamzat Chimaev is undefeated in his professional career and has impeccable wrestling skills. On the other hand, no one has been able to decipher the South African fighting style. A match between these two would be absolutely bonkers, and fans are excited to see that too, but before that, Dricus has to defend his title one more time at UFC 312 against Sean Strickland, and if he manages to defend it successfully, then the fans can get to watch the war between Dricus and Khamzat.
