Dricus du Plessis downplayed Khamzat Chimaev's apparent size advantage in a recent video, claiming camera angles were deceiving. Du Plessis, the UFC middleweight champion, faces Chimaev on August 16th in Chicago. Despite the video suggesting Chimaev is significantly larger, Du Plessis insists the size difference is minimal and that size doesn't determine fight outcomes. He remains confident in his ability to defeat Chimaev and secure his third title defense.
