Michael Page shares his prediction on potential Dricus Du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev bout

After Khamzat Chimaev defeated Robert Whittaker via first-round submission at UFC 308, he is expected to face the middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis in his next bout. UFC contender Michael 'Venom' Page shared his thoughts on the potential bout.

'MVP' praised Chimaev's performance against Whittaker, however, he believes the Russian fighter's endurance is inferior to that of Du Plessis. In an episode of the Overdogs podcast hosted by Mike Perry, the Brit said:

"He looked better in the last fight. Obviously it didn't last long so we didn't get to see it. But normally, he is like, Crash Bandicoot the first round. And then, his energy dips."

He continued:

"If anybody was to [defeat Chimaev], it would be Dricus. Because, that is the muscular endurance. These guys that are, might have the muscular endurance to be fighting at seven, the whole fight. So, if you don't kill him and get him out of there in that first round, second round, then, you're gonna have a problem for the rest of the fight."
