Former UFC dual champion Henry Cejudo assessed the prospects of Dricus Du Plessis in his fights against Hamzat Chimaev and Alex Pereira.
"Although I believe Pereira will beat Ancalaev, I would bet against him in a fight with Du Plessis. I think from a style standpoint, Du Plessis is a serious problem for him. And I know Dricus will come out and fight Alex. His grappling could be a big problem for Pereira, but you have to be careful because Alex is a great counterpuncher. Dricus has some technical gaps, but if you compare his strengths and his ability to combine styles, it could give him an edge over Pereira."
