Hot News: Dricus Du Plessis warns:” Khamzat will be just the next victim to fall under my wrath.”

The heat is rising ahead of one of the most anticipated middleweight clashes in UFC history. Dricus Du Plessis, the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion, has fired the first shot in what promises to be an all-out war against undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev. With the world watching, Du Plessis delivered a bold warning:

“Khamzat will be just the next victim to fall under my wrath.”

It’s a chilling message from a fighter who has made a career out of silencing doubters and dismantling elite opponents. For Du Plessis, Chimaev is simply another name on the growing list of challengers who will feel the full force of his pressure, power, and heart.

Du Plessis: The Champion Built by Adversity

Unlike many champions who rose through the ranks with hype and sponsorships, Dricus Du Plessis carved his path the hard way. The South African brawler faced tough competition in regional circuits, fought through injuries, and entered the UFC as an underdog. But since arriving, he’s defeated the likes of Robert Whittaker, Derek Brunson, and most recently, captured the middleweight belt in emphatic fashion.

His fighting style is relentless—a mix of technical brawling, high fight IQ, and unshakeable cardio. While Chimaev has been steamrolling opponents, Du Plessis has been learning how to survive storms and come out stronger on the other side.

Why Du Plessis Believes Chimaev Is No Different

In his latest interview, Du Plessis didn’t mince words when asked about Chimaev’s threat level.

“He’s human. He bleeds. I’ve seen him fade when things don’t go his way. Everyone talks about his wrestling and power, but nobody talks about his gas tank and his desperation when he can’t finish you early. I’ll survive round one, and after that, he’ll know what real pressure feels like.”

Du Plessis views Chimaev’s unbeaten record not as intimidating, but as unproven at the highest level of adversity. Where others fear Chimaev’s first-round blitz, Du Plessis sees a predictable pattern—one he intends to break.

Chimaev’s Aura of Invincibility Faces Its Toughest Test

Khamzat Chimaev’s rapid rise through two divisions has earned him comparisons to some of the UFC’s most feared fighters. His resume features dominant wins over Li Jingliang, Kevin Holland, and a razor-thin victory over Gilbert Burns.

But critics have pointed out vulnerabilities:

  • Struggled to finish Burns despite landing heavy shots.

  • Showed signs of fatigue in extended grappling exchanges.

  • Faced limited opposition at middleweight compared to the division’s elite.

Against Du Plessis, these weaknesses may finally be exploited.

The Game Plan: Survive, Pressure, Break

Du Plessis has openly discussed his strategy against Chimaev:

  1. Survive the early onslaught where Chimaev looks to impose his wrestling.

  2. Force him to work at a pace he’s uncomfortable maintaining.

  3. Take over the fight in rounds two and three, where Du Plessis historically gets stronger.

“It’s simple. He’ll try to drown me in round one, but by round two, it’ll be me walking him down. He’s never fought anyone like me. I’ll break him mentally and physically.”

Fans Split on Who Holds the Edge

The MMA world is buzzing with predictions. Chimaev supporters point to his relentless takedowns, knockout power, and killer instinct, while Du Plessis fans highlight his durability, late-fight cardio, and experience against high-level strikers and grapplers.

Polls on social media platforms show the fan base nearly divided. Some expect Chimaev to score an early submission or ground-and-pound finish. Others believe Du Plessis’ warrior spirit will lead him to a second or third-round TKO.

Dana White Loves the Drama

UFC President Dana White has expressed excitement about the brewing rivalry.

“That’s the kind of fight people pay to see. Two killers who don’t back down, talking about breaking each other. Madison Square Garden. November. It doesn’t get bigger than that.”

White has yet to officially announce the bout, but sources indicate UFC 320 at Madison Square Garden in November is the targeted date.

Du Plessis: A Fighter of Unwavering Confidence

Confidence is the foundation of Du Plessis’ success. He’s made a career out of defeating fighters who were favored against him. Whether it was Robert Whittaker’s precision striking, Brunson’s wrestling, or the doubters who said he’d never hold a UFC title, Du Plessis thrives in proving people wrong.

His mindset ahead of Chimaev is no different:

“He’s just the next challenge. I’ve conquered bigger mountains already. This is my era now.”

What Will the Fight Look Like?

If Chimaev storms forward with his usual blitz, fans can expect a chaotic first round. But unlike Chimaev’s previous opponents, Du Plessis won’t panic. He’ll absorb, adjust, and push back harder.

Look for Du Plessis to:

  • Work body shots early to sap Chimaev’s energy.

  • Use clinch exchanges to wear down Chimaev’s muscles.

  • Force striking exchanges where his power and timing can shine.

What Happens If It Goes to the Championship Rounds?

The big question surrounding Chimaev has always been: what happens if he can’t finish the fight early?

Against Du Plessis, the possibility of a late-round battle is very real. Du Plessis’ previous fights show a fighter who actually increases his output and sharpness as rounds progress, while Chimaev’s past performances hint at possible fatigue.

If the bout enters the fourth or fifth round, Du Plessis’ confidence will skyrocket.

Chimaev Responds: “Wrath? I’m Not Afraid of Anyone”

As expected, Chimaev didn’t stay silent. In a fiery Instagram live, he responded to Du Plessis’ warning:

“Wrath? I fight for war, not for fear. You think you’re the first man to try? Bring your wrath, I’ll bring my hunger.”

The Chechen Wolf has made it clear that he intends to silence Du Plessis—and anyone else standing in his path.

Training Camps Heating Up

Du Plessis is currently training in South Africa, sharpening his wrestling defense and striking under the guidance of Team CIT. His focus is on preparing for Chimaev’s explosive first five minutes, something his coaches believe they can neutralize.

Chimaev, meanwhile, is in Dubai, splitting time between grappling-heavy sessions and intense striking drills, reportedly training with elite partners to mimic Du Plessis’ awkward but effective style.

A Showdown for the Ages at Madison Square Garden

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Madison Square Garden has hosted some of the UFC’s biggest battles, and Du Plessis vs. Chimaev could add another chapter to its storied history.

  • Du Plessis fights to cement his legacy as the true king of the middleweights.

  • Chimaev fights to finally capture undisputed UFC gold and silence the doubters.

Final Thoughts: Wrath vs. Ruthlessness

When the cage door closes, words won’t matter anymore. It will be Du Plessis’ wrath versus Chimaev’s ruthlessness. Power, heart, and strategy will decide who leaves with the middleweight crown.

But if Du Plessis’ warning is anything to go by, fans are in for a battle that will be remembered for years:

“The wolf is dangerous, but I am the storm.”
