Belal Muhammad predicts Khamzat Chimaev to "win" against Dricus du Plessis

Khamzat Chimaev is coming off a dominant victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 last year. Meanwhile, Dricus du Plessis has successfully defended his title twice, defeating Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 and Sean Strickland at UFC 312.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad shared his prediction for Chimaev's upcoming clash against du Plessis, saying:

"I think Dricus [du Plessis] has a chin. He has cardio. He has awkward style. He has toughness, but I think [Khamzat] Chimaev is a lot cleaner if he keeps his standing. I think he'll be able to keep that pace the whole five rounds and even hurt him. He showed a lot of his power, and he's shown that he's working hard. He's only getting stronger at 185, showing his body is forming out. So, I do think he could do it dominantly...I think [Chimaev] wins. I hope he wins. Dricus, you suck."
