Dricus Du Plessis has made a name for himself as a shocker, from snatching the title from Sean Strickland to defeating Israel Adesanya. His unorthodox fighting style, combined with his exciting performances and trash talk, has made him a fan favorite. Meanwhile, Michael Venom Page weighed in on the middleweight division, sharing his thoughts on the champion, saying Du Plessis has everything it takes to beat Khamzat Chimaev.
During his appearance on the OverDogs podcast, MVP noted that Du Plessis’s relentless pace could create serious challenges for Chimaev if the fight extends past the first round. He explained that fighters like Merab, who maintain an exceptionally high intensity from start to finish, are extremely difficult to handle, and he observed that Dricus exhibits the same sustained output throughout his bouts.
“Someone like Merab who’s at 7, 8 from start to finish, mate that’s difficult to deal with, and Dricus seems exactly the same, he’s like 7, 8 the whole time,” he said.
Merab Dvalishvili has undoubtedly impressed everyone with his incredible cardio, shocking fighters like Sean O’Malley and Umar Nurmagomedov with his relentless pressure. Dricus Du Plessis shares a similar trait, with his own relentless style and conditioning setting him apart, showing that he’s more than capable of keeping up the pace and pressuring opponents throughout the fight.
