Khamzat Chimaev is currently preparing to face Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 319 in his first UFC title fight. Following UFC 318, Chimaev has also been going back and forth with Paulo Costa after the former title challenger bounced back with a decisive win.
Robert Whittaker is staring down the finish line, but not before one last sprint to the top to potentially take on Dricus du Plessis.
Costa (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is irate at Chimaev for allegedly sending his girlfriend "nasty" DMs, and is dead set on fighting him after their UFC 294 booking fell through. The former title challenger returned to the win column with a unanimous decision win over Roman Kopylov this past Saturday at UFC 318.
