Jamahal Hill isn’t placing his cash on Khamzat Chimaev.
Following his spectacular efficiency in opposition to Sean Strickland in February, Dricus du Plessis has been linked to a title tilt with Chimaev, although no official bulletins have been made. As a substitute, we’ve been hit with a barrage of rumors and false studies, just like the one claiming that ‘DDP’ had damaged his shin, setting their conflict again by six months or extra.
Fortunately, du Plessis debunked these rumors, however not earlier than letting struggle followers sweat it out for just a few days.
We could not know the when, but it surely seems like du Plessis vs. Chimaev is a foregone conclusion at this level, with oddsmakers already favoring ‘Borz’ to return out on high. Because it stands, Chimaev is a -145 favourite to seize his first UFC title whereas ‘DDP’ is a slight underdog at +125.
‘Candy Goals’ doesn’t like these odds.
“I most likely favor Dricus Du Plessis in that one only for the straightforward truth of, I’ve doubted this dude so many instances now and he’s shut me up unhealthy each time,” Hill mentioned in an interview with Helen Yee. “I’ve come to grasp how his posture form of works, which can appear to be he’s fatiguing or slowing down, however he’s actually not. He’s bought the higher cardio, and I imagine his bodily energy can pose an issue for anyone in that division.”
Being the underdog in opposition to Chimaev is a well-known spot for ‘DDP’
Du Plessis’ awkward model and suspect cardio have led followers to relentlessly guess in opposition to him through the years, solely to get burned by the South African sensation, who in some way at all times finds a strategy to win.
An ideal 9-0 contained in the Octagon, ‘DDP’ was the designated underdog in all however three of these victories, and his impending showdown with Chimaev is not any totally different.
