(let that sink in)
โFor me, we needed to fix some things, obviously and I spent some time now doing that,โ du Plessis told Fight Forecast .
The Details
I would love to be on that April card, the Miami card ( UFC 327). Iโm ready to go again and get back to my belt as soon as possible.
Donโt fr matter who it is. โ Du Plessis clutched the 185-pound championship at UFC 297 in January 2024 -titleholder Sean Strickland via split decision.
Why This Matters
He successfully defended the belt twice before losing to Chimaev at UFC 319. Dricus du Plessis wants rematch with Khamzat Chimaev While du Plessis is willing to face anyone at UFC 327, he knows who heโd like to fight. The South African wants a rematch with the champion despite their UFC 319 title bout being a one-sided dominating grappling performance by Chimaev.
This is the kind of move that can define a season.
Key Takeaways
- โI would of course love for it to be Khamzat and redeem that loss,โ he dropped.
- โFor me, right now the next fight is the most important fight of my life.
- And I will win that fight and I will get my belt back.
- โ โFighting Khamzat again is of course what Iโm after.
The Bottom Line
Itโs the rules of the game and he did it. So, saying itโs not fair, it is fair.
