Michael Bisping warned Du Plessis not to back up against Chimaev at UFC 319.
"Dricus Du Plessis, I mean, you cannot doubt this guy," Bisping said on ESPN's UFC on ABC 9 post show. "He said he wants to fight Khamzat on the ground. He said everyone else tries to avoid the ground with him, he said, 'I want to fight the best version of him. I want to test my skills against his on the ground.' He's not intimidated.
"There are videos of Dricus Du Plessis online taking on an entire Gracie Barra blackbelt team and submitting them all one by one. He's big, he's strong, he can wrestle, he's got great judo, he's got knockout power. He's had a nose job so. He's got a great gas tank now as well. They hate each other. They absolutely hate each other."
As of 29 October 2024, the Russian fight is #3 in the UFC middleweight rankings and as of 1 July 2025, he is #14 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings. He remains undefeated with 14 fights in the UFC.
