"Bro is skilled."

Meanwhile, other fans wrote:

"Playing soccer would be the last thing I'll think he can do." "What’s scary about him is he’s actually athletic. Whereas a lot of caucus mountain region people are “slow twitch” dominant [highly durable, good endurance]. He’s also fast twitch [power, strength, explosive ability]." "Might be more efficient than [Rasmus] Holjund [Manchester United striker] bring him in." "Bro moves like a tractor with the ball at his feet." "Nah, the eagle eye assist and the cheeky goal... Sign these boys to Fenerbahce asap."

Michael Bisping says Dricus du Plessis must stand his ground against Khamzat Chimaev

Michael Bisping believes Dricus du Plessis has to confront Khamzat Chimaev and his wrestling pressure directly. Backing up, he says, will only make things worse.

Chimaev’s pace has broken top-tier names before. Letting him dictate the rhythm early could be costly. Du Plessis has knockout power, judo control, and superior conditioning. However, none of that matters if he's not the aggressor, according to Bisping.

Speaking at the UFC Abu Dhabi post-fight show, the former UFC middleweight champion said:

"Dricus du Plessis, I mean, you cannot doubt this guy. He’s not intimidated. There are videos of Dricus du Plessis online taking on an entire Gracie Barra black belt team and submitting them all one by one. He’s big. He’s strong. He wrestled. He’s got great judo. He’s got knockout power. He’s had a nose job, so he’s got a great gas tank now as well... [Chimaev’s] going to get you down."

Bisping added:

"Look at what he did to Usman… That’s how good Khamzat Chimaev is at wrestling. So if you try and just do everything you can to avoid him and get away and run, you’re just running away the entire time. He’s gonna get you. Nah. Screw that. Meet him head on,” Bisping said of what du Plessis should do against Chimaev. Fight him at his own game."
