Dricus du Plessis Goes On The Offensive Against Khamzat Chimaev In Social Media Clash
Dricus Du Plessis is an absolute menace when it comes to taking shots at his opponents. Ahead of UFC 319, the champion has once again stirred the pot in classic fashion, targeting Khamzat Chimaev with sharp verbal jabs. Du Plessis has a unique ability to get under his rivals’ skin, making them question why they even bothered engaging with him in the first place. His mind games are just as potent as his performance inside the Octagon.
Khamzat Chimaev kicked off the back‑and‑forth on X by taking aim at Dricus du Plessis’s corner team, sharing a snapshot of them looking less than athletic and peppering the post with donut emojis. The implication was clear: Chimaev was calling out du Plessis and his coaches for notorious reasons. Du Plessis didn’t hesitate. He countered with a single, pointed response that turned Chimaev’s own mocking tone back on him, implying a more personal slight about his background.
“O sh*t would get you but there’s no inbred emoji..” said DDP.
