“Stillknocks” and his trash talk never get old.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis defended his title for the second time at UFC 312 last night (Sat., Feb. 8, 2025) as he dominated former champion Sean Strickland in their rematch, winning a unanimous decision from inside Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (watch highlights).
Immediately after the fight, Du Plessis’ assumed next opponent Khamzat Chimaev trashed the UFC 312 main event fight calling it “bullshit.”
Well, once “Stillknocks” caught wind of Chimaev’s criticism, he gave him a piece of his mind.
“I’ll see you when I see you. I hope we can make it happen at International Fight Week,” Du Plessis told Full Send MMA. “When his tweets make sense, it’s his agent, and when it’s random English words, it’s him. He called it a bullshit fight; well, try and get to a fight.”
“He couldn’t get the Welterweight title, definitely not getting the Middleweight title. Talk about a waste of potential,” Du Plessis concluded.
Boy, oh boy, the UFC Middleweight kingpin sure has a way with words, doesn’t he? Hopefully, he won’t make Chimaev cry like he did with Israel Adesanya and Strickland.
Nevertheless, Du Plessis is still unbeaten inside the Octagon and is riding an 11-fight win streak and will be waiting for Chimaev, who is coming off an impressive, quick win over Robert Whittaker (watch highlights).
Will “Borz” make it to the fight?
