Rumored Du Plessis will fight in Sydney, Australia, in February 2025 for UFC 312

[IDGETKTFO]

LOL at you idiots thinking Hazmat would fight DDP in 3 months if he beats Bobby Knuckles.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Again? Weird date too. As long as it's not Strickland im good

Why not Strickland? Their fight was super close and Sean went out there and got a W unlike Gynosanya.

Given the location.. I think they are counting on Whittaker beating Chimaev

 

[Sycho Sid]

Who wants to see the Whitaker rematch though ? he got destroyed. Strickland and Chimaev are the two matchups for DDP

Izzy destroyed Rob in the first fight, and then almost beat him in the rematch. Shit happens

 

[Subline]

Rob wins the rematch

Strickland?? You want to watch 5 rounds of jabs and high knees?? LOL feed Strickland to Imavov

 

[tritestill]

This sounds tentative and subject for change

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Doesn’t Aus tax the fuck out of foreign fighters?

Who the fuck would want that?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Yall act like anything with the UFC is set in stone

Khamzat has scheduled an Australian tour for this December

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Damn, DDP the African Conqueror.
Going into your home country and taking your breakfast.

 

[Psychojoe86]

If Khamzat beats Whittaker, the UFC is going to book him a title shot IMO.

Granted nothing is a lock and the UFC will do whatever makes the most short term ROI, but I find this likely.

Whittaker wins he fights DDP
Chim wins he fights DDP

Strickland is only going next if the winner is injured.

I think you got it partially right.

Strickland has main priority
But Whittaker would be a better headliner for australia (but if he’s injured Strickland will get it first)
Khamzat won’t fight on only 4 months notice and might wait for after Ramadan so he will fight later in 2025

 

[Snake Fist]

A healthy head in the game Khamzat would make for a great fight againt DDP.

Khamzat's fighting spirit just don't seem to be where it was, hopefully we see what he's really made off against Whittaker, which is also an intriguing fight.

 

[CrimsonFan]

Imo give Imanov the shot


He's earned it.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Damn DDP is gonna waste his best years being forced to fight the same three people

 

[RockyLockridge]

Damn right he is. He needs to show for 2 fights before he gets a/shot. Fuck that gut that never fights

2 fights in one calendar year is what I need to see from him before I ever give a shit about him

Are you going somewhere with this?

Whittaker looked like a beast his last 2 fights. Could have underestimated DDP cause of his weird style. A lot of people seem to do that. Alex rated him a 5/10 fighter which is ridiculous.

 

[Streeter]

2 fights in one calendar year is what I need to see from him before I ever give a shit about him

I would settle for just showing up for 2 fights in a row. No way a fighter should get a shot that's fought 2 or 3 times in 3 years and pulled out of more fights than he makes. Show you can be at least a little reliable first.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Challengers should never have home field advantage

 

[Istryker]

Good fuck Sean.
