Darren Till issues definitive prediction for Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev fight: "I can't stand his guts"
Former UFC star Darren Till has shared his prediction for the Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev title fight at UFC 319. At UFC 308, Chimaev extended his undefeated record to 8-0, dominating former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and winning via submission in the first round.
This performance strengthened 'Borz's' case for a title shot, which Dana White eventually announced on Instagram Live. Till, who once fought in the middleweight division, shared his perspective on how the fight would go.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani, 'The Gorilla' said:
"Tell Dricus I said, f*** him, by the way. I can't stand his guts because he's so s*** that he's so good. With respect, I'm never going to look past Dricus because he trains hard, he's super dedicated. I think Khamzat will beat him inside two rounds, I really do believe that. Khamzat knows it's a tough fight, but Khamzat trains like a beast. I do think Khamzat gets it in two rounds done."

Jamahal Hill breaks down Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev
As the middleweight title fight was recently announced, the MMA community has begun picking their winning bet. While some predict Khamzat Chimaev to blitz Dricus du Plessis with his elite grappling skills in the first two rounds, others believe the South African champion will weather the storm and win the fight with his impressive conditioning and unorthodox striking skills.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill recently shared his prediction for the title fight. Speaking to Helen Yee, 'Sweet Dreams' said:
"I probably favor DDP [Dricus du Plessis] in that one just for the simple fact that I've doubted this dude so many times now and he's shut me up. I think he's got the better cardio, his physical strength - I believe can pose a problem for anybody in that division. We've seen Khamzat fade over the course of rounds before."
