Prior to his UFC 319 title fight against Dricus du Plessis, Khamzat Chimaev has set a high price in his time.
On August 16, Khamzat Chimaev will finally fight for a UFC title when he accepts Dricus du Plessis in the UFC 319 Main Event in Chicago, in a fight that has been demanded for a while.
Chimaev has not left the Octagon since last October when he crushed Robert Whittaker's jaw in his most impressive version so far.
Du Plessis, on the other hand, defended his middleweight title earlier this year on UFC 312, in a rematch against Sean Strickland, finally an end to their rivalry.
