Du Plessis vs Chimaev headlines a stacked card
Digest more
Du Plessis has been one of the most dominant fighters over the past couple of years. Since his first fight in the UFC in 2020, the South African contestant has not lost a match, winning the Middleweight belt at UFC 290 in 2023. He has since defended the title thrice, two wins coming by decision.
Tomorrow night in the co-main event of UFC 319, we are going to see a huge matchup in the featherweight division where the winner will likely vault right into the title picture. It will be the highly anticipated octagon debut of Aaron Pico (13-4) who is jumping right into the thick of things at 145 as he’s taking on the unbeaten Lerone Murphy (16-0-1).
