Dricus Du Plessis Dismisses Khamzat Chimaev’s Chances Against Alex Pereira

After undefeated Chimaev's bold call-out, former middleweight champion Du Plessis shut down talk of a potential Chimaev (middleweight champion) vs. Pereira (light-heavyweight champion) matchup. “Khamzat always had crazy callouts. There’s no way he beats Pereira,” Du Plessis said. He praised Pereira (13-3) as “one of the greatest in combat sports,” adding that Chimaev’s size disadvantage makes the matchup unrealistic.
