Gregory Rodrigues questions Dricus du Plessis’ longevity as UFC champion

Gregory Rodrigues believes Dricus Du Plessis’ middleweight title reign may be short-lived, with a new wave of contenders emerging in the division.

Du Plessis successfully defended his middleweight championship against Sean Strickland at UFC 312 in Sydney. However, Rodrigues remains skeptical about the South African’s ability to hold onto the belt for long, especially with rising threats like Khamzat Chimaev, Nassourdine Imavov, and Caio Borralho.

Speaking at a media day, Rodrigues acknowledged Du Plessis’ determination but questioned whether his skill set is enough to withstand the competition:

“It was good. It was good for DDP, He did his job. Before the fight, my thought was he’ll still be the champion, and he did. But I don’t know if he’s going to hold this belt to the end of this year. He’s going to fight Chimaev, right? It’s a good match, but his will is still there, right? He’s the champion, he’s young."

He further added:

“But I don’t know if he has the quality to continue with the belt. The division has changed, so many good names, and they’re coming up. [Nassourdine] Imavov is right there, Caio Borralho. So many good guys coming up."
