Khamzat Chimaev claims he’s going to bring the middleweight title back to “the normal people” in a recent post on X.
In the time since ‘Borz’ last stepped inside the Octagon, 185-pound champion Dricus Du Plessis has both captured and defended the division’s top prize. His most recent appearance came at UFC 305 in Perth when he scored a stunning fourth-round submission victory over former two-time titleholder Israel Adesanya.
All signs point toward ‘DDP’ running it back with the man he took the title from, Sean Strickland, in his next outing.
