Dricus du Plessis on Sean Strickland
“I'm probably going to go with Strickland... I can almost guarantee that this fight is not going to a finish. If you fight Strickland and you're going head to head, you need really good striking to beat a guy like Strickland”

Dricus Du Plessis on Anthony Hernandez
“Hernandez was one of the guys I saw come up... He just goes and goes and goes, and his gas tank is crazy, especially with the way he fights. He strikes, he gets in there, he makes it ugly, and he just breaks his opponents... I can almost guarantee that this fight is not going to a finish”

Dec 16, 2025 prediction
Dricus Du Plessis on Khamzat Chimaev
“Imavov is getting the title shot. I think that's the only thing that really makes sense now... I think it's going to be an interesting fight, I think Khamzat wins that fight, for sure. The whole division has been mixed up... Right now, you don’t have anybody who’s consistently winning. That’s the problem. How do you pick a contender if you have guys that fight two great fights and one terrible one? The consistency isn’t there”

– via Fight Forecast predicting that Khamzat Chimaev will surely defeat Nassourdine Imavov.
