Dricus Du Plessis vows to put on a show against Khamzat Chimaev.

Du Plessis is scheduled to defend his middleweight title against Chimaev in the main event at UFC 319 on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. The champion is a +180 underdog against Chimaev, a -220 favorite.

Some expect Du Plessis to gradually take over as the fight progresses if he can survive the early wrestling onslaught from Chimaev. However, Du Plessis says he is not going in there to survive but to hunt. “Stillknocks” is looking to dominate from the moment the Octagon door closes. While the Du Plessis knows he is up against one of the best fighters in the world, the South African considers himself the best.

Du Plessis Plans to ‘Flourish’ at UFC 319​

“I'm not going out there to survive anything,” Du Plessis said in a UFC 319 Countdown video. “I'm going out there to hunt. I'm a hunter, I'm not a survivor. I'm going out there to flourish from the first second to the last. I'm there to win in the most spectacular fashion possible. The whole world’s excited for this fight because it’s truly the two best guys fighting each other. Everybody knows Khamzat is the best next guy. I just know that I’m the best.”

Du Plessis is undefeated in nine UFC outings, which include three title fights. Du Plessis won the title against Sean Strickland last year and has since defended it against Israel Adesanya and in a rematch against Strickland. Meanwhile, the undefeated Chimaev has only gone the distance twice in eight UFC wins.

It will fun seeing DDP get his ass kicked

 

[The Big Babou]

Not sure what you are trying to say. The fact DDP's timeline is half of Khamzat's, widens the gap even further for competition faced, since it was already the tougher group of the two.

We're saying the same thing, brother

 

[Myrddin Wild]

DDP & Borz are both trollz & know teh power of social media. Giving oop his game plan could be taken at face value, or be a strategy to make Borz think he'z coming on strong in order to make Borz hesitate to wait for an attack.

Fun Stuff... Can't wait to see what happenz. This is one of the most unique fights in a long time to try & predict imo...

+1100 that DDP gets a tko in 3, 4, or 5
