Former UFC Champion Adesanya Predicts Du Plessis Victory Over Chimaev At UFC 319
The highly anticipated UFC 319 middleweight title fight between champion Dricus du Plessis and undefeated challenger Khamzat Chimaev has sparked varied predictions from key figures in the MMA world. Israel Adesanya, a former two-time middleweight champion who lost the title to du Plessis, predicts a late-round finish with du Plessis retaining the belt, citing Chimaev's cardio concerns and the champion's well-rounded skills. Adesanya suggests that if Chimaev wins, it would likely be early in the fight, but du Plessis' chaotic and resilient style will prevail in longer rounds. Reinier De Ridder, who has trained with both fighters, leans toward du Plessis winning by edging out the later rounds due to his experience, expressing doubt that Chimaev can finish early. Chimaev, known for his grappling and finishing ability, faces pressure to secure an early victory given his stamina issues in longer bouts. Overall, the consensus highlights du Plessis' endurance and adaptability as key factors against Chimaev's early aggression and grappling threat in this pivotal championship bout.
