Anthony Hernandez is not impressed with how Khamzat Chimaev defeated Dricus du Plessis.

"He will just hug you and hold you on the mat, he doesn’t want to work in the stand-up. He's not spectacular. That’s the impression I got after that fight. I look at it this way: now I'm the boogeyman. You say my name and find yourself in front of me - I will come for you. That’s the business. I'm glad that the former champion believes he can take me out. I intend to prove the opposite," said the fighter in an interview with UFC on Paramount.
