For context, 'Stillknocks' recently made scathing personal remarks about Magomedov after 'Bullet' discredited Du Plessis as the UFC 185-pound champion. In response, the fan criticized the 31-year-old for possibly setting up a fight against Magomedov.

Additionally, while suggesting that Imavov should be the next contender for Dricus Du Plessis' title, the fan said:

"MVP beat him, stop looking for an easier fight 🤨 Imavov should be next."
