Prime UFC featherweight Lerone Murphy is choosing Khamzat Chimaev to beat UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319 and turn into the brand new king of the middleweight division. In an interview with Card Player, the British fighter mentioned the next.
“Khamzat’s all fuel on the pedal. Everybody’s saying if Khamzat wins he wins within the first spherical and if Dricus wins he wins later rounds. However I believe you must put extra respect on Khamzat. He is not only going to fuel out after the primary spherical and quit in the event you don’t end him. It’s going to be a troublesome struggle for each of them, to be sincere. However I see Khamzat getting his hand raised – perhaps getting a 3rd or second spherical submission.”
Khamzat Chimaev has everybody’s respect.
With Chimaev being by far essentially the most terrifying fighter to come back out of the famed Caucasus mountains. With Chechnya and Dagestan producing a number of the most dominant MMA grapplers, he stands out as essentially the most bodily and brutal one but. Regardless of missing the pedigree and resume of Du Plessis, Khamzat Chimaev is the favourite, highlighting the MMA world’s excessive regard for the surging monster and potential champion.
