“Du Plessi could win if there were two more rounds, due to endurance.” He has only endurance, and that’s it. And he distributed the battle initially. He thought that he would give two rounds. But he did not expect that he would give four rounds. He did not think that he was such a bag that he was going into his feet, and he was falling. Full bag. Okay, two rounds, I see. But the third you have to pick up. There were no 100 percent Takedowns. And he does not even want to stand on his feet! Suppose there is no way, good. But then you need to be able to do something in the stalls from the back … But you do not know how! Then what is the UFC champion? – said Taktarov “Match TV.”

Chimaev won 15 victories in 15 battles in MMA, on the account of Du Plessi 23 victories and three defeats.
