The unbeaten UFC Middleweight Title Challenger seems to have checked every box in its training camp.
Dricus Du Plessis believes that Khamzat Chimaev has doubts about his conditioning on his way to their meeting on August 16 in Chicago.
It has been a common story among fans and fellow hunters that as soon as the fight goes beyond the opening rounds, the opportunities will swing in favor of the title defender.
While Daniel Cormier supported the Cardio of Chimaev, his only competitive battles in the UFC have pushed this side of his game.
This would always be a big focus of his preparations for UFC 319, with a member of his camp who recently revealed the length they did to really test 'Borz'.

Arman Tsarukyan says that Khamzat Chimaev 'everyone broken' when they are confronted with ten different sparring partners
Although there are still so many exciting unanswered questions about Khamzat Chimaev, a colleague UFC star was regularly able to insight into his training camp.
Arman Tsarukyan is part of the preparations for the middleweight Challenger title in the United States and has therefore been able to share some details.
Adam Zubayraev has also been in addition to Chimaev to document part of the process, with his latest video that shows an exchange he had with Tsarukyan.
Towards the end of the vlog, the UFC light weight competition was asked how 'Borz' looks only a few days of his first UFC title fight.
Both men then spoke about how Chimaev just went for ten rounds with different partners.
Although it is not uncommon for Elite hunters to endure this 'shark tank' approach by constantly entering new teammates to test them, Tsarukyan noted that this was no problem for Chimaev.
“Did you see him? It was just like that. Every training day he tortured everyone. Stitched and broke everyone. He is in good condition and on top that everything is also fine with the weight. No injuries that can distract him. He is healthy, that is the most important thing. That is what we have to maintain until the weighting and the fight itself.”
Khamzat Chimaev clearly agrees with Arman Tsarukyan's comments about his priorities
Arman Tsarukyan specifically emphasized the importance of Khamzat Chimaev during his preparations and the need to keep that until August 16.
This has clearly been an important part of the training camp, where 'Borz' recently revealed the steps he has taken to try to ensure that he can perform to the best of its ability.
Chimaev told ESPN MMA in a recent interview that he tried to prevent any possibility of illness that makes its way to the camp.
“I have to be ready, not getting sick. That's why I just say to the boys, when we go to the mall, if there is a sick fan, we might get that disease, so I have to be careful.”
With just a few days until one of the largest fighting of the year takes place, fans will certainly have crossed everything for this fight as planned.
