Robert Whittaker on potential Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev fight
Robert Whittaker recently shared his thoughts on a potential Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev fight. The former UFC middleweight champion theorized that Chimaev's intimidating demeanor in the cage could prove to be a disadvantage against a fighter as calculated as du Plessis.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani during an interview, Whittaker was asked whether du Plessis stood a better chance against Chimaev compared to Sean Strickland. 'The Reaper' replied:
"I think he beats both of them, I do, I think Dricus would be a harder opponent of Sean and him, just because if Dricus survives because Dricus is just good at surviving, being there, and if we have seen anything with Chimaev, he gets tired committing too heavily to his shots, and grappling transitions."
