Hernandez named the winner of the fight between Du Plessis and Chimaev

Dmitriy Kel June 5, 2025, 4:50 a.m.

UFC middleweight Anthony Hernandez shared his prediction for the title fight in his division between champion Dricus Du Plessis and unbeaten challenger Khamzat Chimaev.

“To be honest, Dricus is a damn tough and awkward bastard. And Chimaev, in my opinion, hasn’t fought middleweights at all, except for Whittaker. I’m curious to see how he handles a real heavyweight who can fight everywhere. After all, Du Plessis shows this in every fight. I think Dricus will win,” Hernandez is quoted by Sportskeeda.

Recall that Du Plessis and Chimaev will fight on August 17 at UFC 319 in Chicago, USA.
