UFC 319 is a matter of hours away, with fans eagerly anticipating one of the greatest fighting of the year.
The encounters between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev during Fight Week have only increased the excitement for their middleweight title fight.
Both men were in good shape at the press conference, where the champion played for his Schurkrol while 'Borz' received an enormous amount of support in Chicago.
In anticipation of August 16, the coach of Du Plessis was incredibly critical of Chimaev's standing before they try to resolve the undefeated challenger of the challenger.
He now believes that they can have a psychological advantage after what happened on Thursday.

While their face-off in the ceremonial weightings eventually became much more intense, the first stars between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev took place after the press conference.
The face certainly built some extra excitement for the UFC 319 main event, but there are not many fans who would have looked much further into it.
This was not the case for the head coach of Du Plessis, Morne Visser, who believes that there were several important things out of it.
In addition to believing that the champion dominance established by keeping his hands higher than his opponent, Visser emphasized the Chimaev's actions.
“If you look at that face, you know when two boys fight on the street and a man is pulled away and his friends save him a little. Dana came in and he pushed them apart and only then khamzat made a big sound.
“Why was he not so arrogant when he stood right in front of Dricus? That's just strange for me. That just shows a bit of weakness. If you want to be tough, be tough for the man, don't walk away and then scream stupid things.”

The video of Morne Visser stating that he would not give Khamzat Chimaev a pro -license, attracted some attention before UFC 319.
The coach of Dricus Du Plessis spoke very negatively about the general skills of their next opponent while praising his hunter.
While he was again striking criticism of Chimaev, in particular referring to the fact that he does not offer much offense outside his bumps, Visser gave the challenger.
“Let's face it, he's great,” Visser told Submission Radio. “He does a phenomenal work. Dana will never give him ever, Hunter will never give him this chance if they don't think he can become champions. I have to give him the honor.
“I know that I have given him a lot – for the fight, but this is Go Time. This is where everything comes together, so that nothing we have done so far. I have to give him respect, he is a good hunter. He is actually a phenomenal hunter.”
