Anticipated Clash between Drycus du Plessis and Hamzat Chimaev Discussed by Rene de Ridder
Title Fight Predictions: Renny de Ridder Weighs In on Dricus du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev
Hey there, fight fans! Renny de Ridder, the badass former ONE Championship champ in two weight classes and the current UFC middleweight contender - ranked 13th in the division, has shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated title fight between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev. Here's what he had to say via MMA Junkie:
"I've sparred a bit with both Dricus and Khamzat, and trust me, it's gonna be a wild ride."
De Ridder, fondly known as "The Dutch Knight," delved further: "But if you're asking me who's got the edge, my money's on Dricus. The dude's got the power, he's in peak physical condition, and he can maintain the pace for all five rounds. I don't think Khamzat can break him as quickly as he's done with others. Hell, I'm not a mind reader, but I'd be surprised if he pulls off a slick submission or takes Dricus down with ease like in the past."
De Ridder gear's up for a showdown on May 4th against undefeated Bo Nickal. The UFC's undefeated poster boy remains undefeated in his UFC career as well.
