Dricus Du Plessis Says He Had Khamzat Chimaev Ready To Quit

Du Plessis revisited his UFC 319 loss to Chimaev on Aug. 16, 2025, and claimed he sensed surrender late. “I was 100% certain I was either going to sub this guy or knock him out,” he said, until the 10-second clapper. After getting the top position, he felt Chimaev think, “Oh sh*t,” adding, “I know I could make that man quit.”
