WHO calls out the most feared man in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, risking his belt, his legacy and unbeaten streak in the UFC?
-
Only Dricus du Plessis.
The South African MMA Star and UFC Middleweight Champion has been calling out Khamzat Chimaev since his first title defence, when he finished UFC Hall of Famer Israel Adesanya in Australia a year ago.
They call Chimaev “The boogeyman” of the UFC, and rightfully so. After all, the 31-year-old has rag-dolled every single one of his opponents since making his debut in 2020.
With unmatched wrestling and grappling skills and the sheer strength of the man, fighters shiver and try to stay as far away from the Chechen-born fighter.
However, Du Plessis, as he has done throughout his career, has decided to stare straight into the eyes of adversity as he pushes to leave no doubt that he is indeed the best middleweight in the world.
