UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis expressed confidence that he is capable of inflicting his first defeat on Khamzat Chimaev.
"When I fight, I don't know what it is to back down. I will come out and chop. We've seen Hamzat get tired after a round and a half because he uses too much power. Sure, he has wrestling technique, but his weapon is power. So Hamzat is a gun, and I am a tank, if we talk about physical strength. There is no middleweight stronger and more powerful than me," Du Plessis told TMZ Sports.
Du Plessis is expected to fight Sean Strickland in January.
