Dricus du Plessis reveals timeframe for Khamzat | MMA News
UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis (23-3) expects the combat promotion to make an official announcement about his next title protection ‘soon.’ The South African will likely be dealing with the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev (14-0) but is not precisely sure when.
“We have a date,” du Plessis said on the Sias du Plessis Show. “We have the potential of two dates. I already agreed to both. A lot of people asking if it’s this year. Yes, 100 percent. It’s not that far away. The announcement will be made soon.”
Rumors recently surfaced that du Plessis was injured and wouldn’t be back in action this year but “Stillknocks” shot down those rumors and mentioned he is just ready on the contract to face Chimaev.
“All these rumors that came out about injuries, I don’t know where they came from. It was ridiculous. I was like, okay, I just left it for like a week and I was like, ‘Everybody had their fun. Now you’re all gonna look stupid,'” he said.
“We’ve already agreed on a date, and that’s been a while ago. So I’m just waiting for the contract, but that’s the fight that’s happening. It’s gonna be happening in the next couple of months, maximum four months. It’s gonna happen one of these days.”
“Nothing’s signed, but I’ve already agreed to any date,” he continued. “Any date that they gave me, I said, ‘Cool. Ready. Let’s do it.’”
