UFC 319 is planned by a matchup that many people find hard to predict.
Although he has had some competitive battles in the Achthoek, Khamzat Chimaev has also been incredibly dominant in the vast majority of his victories.
As we recently saw when Chimaev effortlessly lifted Daniel Cormier in the air during the fighting week, the wrestling and the power of the undefeated challenger makes him incredibly dangerous.
It is not surprising to see predictions coming in before August 16 and that 'Borz' can implement its will of the opening bell to become the new middleweight champion.
However, as Israel Adesanya said, it will be interesting if Dricus du Plessis can survive Chimaev's early attack, and Joe Rogan has a suggestion that will help him do this.
Joe Rogan suggests that Dricus du Plessis should build a sweat backstage on UFC 319 to control himself more difficult
In a recent episode of the JRE MMA show, Joe Rogan was accompanied by people such as UFC legend Matt Serra and analyst Din Thomas to view an example of the UFC 319 main event.
The conversation turned to the dominant struggle of Khamzat Chimaev and how, despite the fact that some hunters are successful against him, it is still a huge puzzle for every hunter to try to solve.
As is the case in every fight, it can be more difficult for Chimaev to bring Drus Du Plessis down and control him as soon as both men become slippery.

This builds up in the common idea that the title defender has a better chance of winning this competition, the longer it continues.
That is, unless Du Plessis entered the Achthoek after he had already sweated himself backstage, which initially suggested Rogan that he should try as a joke.
Although it discussed this subject, although it started as a humorous idea, it seemed that the old UFC commentator was starting to come up with the idea that it could be a strategy that could use 'still know' because, according to Rogan, it is not against the rules.
“I would advise a strong warm -up in a rubber suit. Go outside, just slippery as F—. If you don't want to cheat, you can bend the rules because it doesn't cheat … that may not be a bad idea, who gives him that tracksuit -may not have a bad idea because you can do that completely.
Joe Rogan was left stunned after he grabs Khamzat Chimaev with a former champion
There are numerous examples of Khamzat Chimaev who are apparently able to do what he wants with his opponents as soon as he gets to get hold of them.
During the podcast, Joe Rogan pointed to a recent example of the dominant struggle of the challenger after viewing some of his preparations.
Rogan drew attention to the work that Chimaev did with former UFC Middenweight Champion Luke Rockhold, which stood how impressive 'Borz' looked at the American.
“It was interesting to see him rolling with Rockhold. I know it is not like Rockhold was in the camp and prepared it and this is Rockhold at his best. I don't even know how much he had trained, but Khamzat just treated him. Hand him and we know how good Rockhold is.”
