In anticipation of the Blockbuster Main Event on UFC 319 between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev, Joe Rogan gave his final assessment.
The coming Saturday, Khamzat Chimaev finally fights for UFC Gold when he accepts Dricus du Plessis at the UFC 319 Main Event in the return of the promotion to Chicago.
The fight is one of the most long -awaited fights so far this year with fans and hunters divided between the continuous dominance of Chimaev or the championship cardio of Du Plessis.
This will mark the first fight of Chimaev in the United States since 2022, but fans are not getting used to it, because he recently explained why he is not too often interested in fighting in America.

Joe Rogan offers the final assessment of du plessis vs chimaev
Returning for the blockbuster fight is UFC icon, Joe Rogan, who will be in the comment boat after missing UFC 318 last month.
Only a few days out of the collision in the Windy City, Rogan has given his final assessment of the fight, comparing Du Plessis with colleague -dominant UFC champion, Merab Dvalishvili.
“He is a monster, and you know this (Matt Serra) because you work with Merab, there are boys who reach this level of discipline and they reach a level of cardio vascular performance that are just above everyone and then they maintain it,” Rogan began to explain.
“The amount of hard work is extremely to reach that level and I think Dricus is a kind of similar thing, I think that guy works so hard that he can fight and fight full explosion.
“He is a great champion … he could certainly win. I saw one of these guys winning this fight. It will be interesting to see if it comes in deep water … Khamzat's speed is a big factor with his hand speed … What he did with Gerald Meerschaert is pretty f – scary too.
“(Khamzat) is getting up well and that is where it gets weird, I want to see because du Plessis shows everyone stupid, he finds a way to get you,” Rogan continued.
Khamzat Chimaev takes inactivity problems at prior to UFC 319
Not long ago, UFC legend Din Thomas claimed that Chimaev who won the title would be a 'disaster' for the promotion, given his recent inactivity.
Nevertheless, UFC boss Dana White concluded that statement by saying that he is not worried about that.
And with that, Chimaev recently stated that if he wins the title this Saturday, he wants to defend the belt later this year in Abu Dhabi.
