Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev ran into each other at the fighter hotel ahead of UFC 319.
Du Plessis is set to defend his middleweight title in the main event of UFC 319 against Chimaev in a highly anticipated bout. In the lead-up, both have vowed they will finish the other, as both are confident.
However, despite the two taking shots at one another, when they met at the fighter hotel, Du Plessis and Chimaev were respectful to one another.
“It was super respectful. As I’ve always said, if my opponent is respectful, I’ll be respectful before the fight. It looks like there won’t be any antics unless something changes, but it was great. It’s good to see my opponent is healthy. All the questions about whether he would show up never bothered me, but I know it was a question for everyone,” Du Plessis said at UFC 319 media day.
As Dricus Du Plessis says, the main thing was that he was glad to see Khamzat Chimaev there, as he knows there is a ton of hype for this fight and wants the fans to see it. But, he says, the interaction was respectful, but that will change once they step into the Octagon.
