Dricus du Plessis is interested in a fight against Alex Pereira – but understands that he needs to get through Khamzat Chimaev first.
Over the course of the last few years, Dricus du Plessis has done a great job of shocking the world. He has managed to rattle off huge wins over Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker and Sean Strickland, and now, he is known as the UFC middleweight champion.
The expectation is that he will battle Strickland in a rematch next year. However, given the rise of Khamzat Chimaev, there’s always a chance that the Chechen star will jump to the front of the line.
