Entering as the UFC middleweight champion, Du Plessis is a strong underdog (+225) against Chimaev, a formidable and unbeaten opponent. The two fighters’ styles may be called into question by Chimaev’s explosive wrestling and pursuit, as well as whether Du Plessis can sustain Chimaev’s first surge and whether Chimaev can fight for the full five rounds, if necessary.
Beginning at 10 p.m. ET, that bout will be the main event of the UFC 319 main program on ESPN+ Pay Per View.
