Will DDP’s UFC title governance proceed?
We have been working for a 12 months at Doricus Duplesis as UFC Middleweight Champion. Though his resume has two title defenses, the rise of 185 kilos of Gregory Rodriguez is questioning how lengthy the DDP runs will final (h/t mmajunkie).
“It was good. It was good for DDP,” Rodriguez informed reporters on Wednesday’s Media Day. “He did the job. Earlier than the battle, my ideas have been he was nonetheless the champion and he did. However I do not know if he’ll maintain this belt till the top of the 12 months. He’ll battle Chimaev, proper? It is a good match, however his will remains to be there, proper? He is the champion, he is younger.
“However I do not know if he has the standard to proceed the belt. The division has modified, there are such a lot of good names, they’re approaching. (Nassourdine) Imavov is true there, Caio Borralho. There are quite a lot of good guys coming. I, for a couple of extra days, I will be there. The division is starting to be thrilling and I am excited to reside on this good second.”
Many hope that Khamzat Chimaev will turn out to be Du Plessis’ subsequent title challenger. If “stills” can block Chimef, he desires to show his consideration to UFC gentle heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. “Poatan” has its personal title protection towards Magomed Ankalaev on March eighth. Identical to with DDP, Chmaev and critics imagine Ankaraev will likely be a troublesome check for Pereira.
