Dricus du Plessis discusses potential fights against Alex Pereira and Khamzat Chimaev
UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis discussed potential fights against Alex Pereira and Khamzat Chimaev. Du Plessis called out Pereira after his win over Sean Strickland at UFC 312 in his post-fight interview.
However, du Plessis confirmed that he will face off against 'Borz' in a middleweight title fight, before fighting Pereira. Speaking to mainevent following his win at UFC 312, he said:
"You have to keep your options open. Of course I want to fight Alex Pereira. He has a fight lined up, I have a fight. This is setting it up. I always said I want to defend my belt at least three times, and if there's no doubt that I've cleaned out this division then we can talk about me going up [to light heavyweight]. I just want him to know, I'm ready. No, I'm not running from Khamzat. That is the next fight I want. I think me and Khamzat will be bigger right now than me and Alex Pereira."
