Dricus Du Plessis says he has used a mental coach for the past eight years and that it’ll pay off when he fights Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319. Chimaev is expected to take Du Plessis down early, and the reigning middleweight champion shrugged it off.

That is because after just over a minute into the bout, Makuebo caught a kick from du Plessis and tried to take him down. The UFC Middleweight champion decided to go into a full guard, which brought them both down and trapped Makuebo’s leg underneath du Plessis’ body.
