Dricus Du Plessis doesn't sound keen on losing his place in the queue of middleweight title challengers, but he isn’t too worried, either.
In an Oct. 26 interview on Fox West Texas, the Ultimate Fighting Championship 185-pound standout discussed Khamzat Chimaev’s showing against Kamaru Usman at UFC 294. Chimaev (13-0) dominated former welterweight champ Usman in the opening frame, earning 10-8 scores from all three official judges, but significantly lessened his output in the later rounds, fearing he had broken his right hand. “Borz” walked away with a closely contested majority decision and what was subsequently reported to be torn hand ligament.
