Sports news » Du Plessis on Chimaev Fight: Announcement Coming Soon

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis addressed inquiries regarding the potential timing of his fight against Khamzat Chimaev.

Du Plessis stated: “We have two potential dates. I have already agreed to both. We will announce in the near future. This will happen within a couple of months, at most four. Nothing is signed yet, but I have already agreed to any date.”

This aligns with an earlier statement from UFC CEO Dana White, who confirmed that the Du Plessis – Chimaev fight is agreed upon in principle, but indicated it would not take place before July.
