Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev look ready to tear each other apart just days away from their middleweight title fight in the UFC 319 main event. On Thursday, champion and challenger came face-to-face with UFC CEO Dana White doing his best to ensure the main event didn’t start two days early.

The UFC middleweight championship wasn't built for Dricus du Plessis, he took it by force. That honor seemed reserved for Khamzat Chimaev, whom many deemed a future champion early on. Maybe that's why Du Plessis is a betting underdog at UFC 319 in Chicago.
