Dricus du Plessis vows to brutally destroy Khamzat Chimaev and add him to his list of weeping victims.

Dricus du Plessis has never been short on confidence. But ahead of his monumental clash with Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319, the South African middleweight champion has sent shockwaves through the MMA world with his most savage vow yet — to brutally dismantle Chimaev and leave him in tears, like so many before him.

The grudge match is one of the most anticipated middleweight title bouts in recent memory. With both men undefeated at 185 pounds, and each known for their violent styles and relentless mental warfare, UFC 319 could define the next era of the division.

But if you ask Du Plessis, there’s no question how the story ends.

“I will break him. I will batter him. And I will make Khamzat Chimaev cry. Like all the others.”

This bold statement isn’t just trash talk — it’s a war declaration, and Dricus is preparing for nothing less than a total annihilation.

The Champion Is Ready for War

Dricus du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) shocked the world when he dethroned Sean Strickland to become the UFC Middleweight Champion. That win didn’t just validate his rise — it cemented him as one of the most dangerous forces in the sport.

But his sights have shifted fast — and firmly — to Khamzat Chimaev, the undefeated Chechen-born sensation who has bulldozed his way through two divisions.

“He’s just another man,” Du Plessis said in a recent interview. “He bleeds. He gets tired. He breaks. And I’ll be the one to break him in front of the world.”

Du Plessis sees Chimaev not as a monster — but as a future victim.

Khamzat Chimaev: The Boogeyman of the UFC

Khamzat Chimaev (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has built his mystique on dominance. Whether at welterweight or middleweight, “Borz” has mauled his opponents, often without absorbing a single significant strike.

His wrestling is suffocating. His pace is unmatched. And his confidence is unshakable.

But critics have noted one thing: he’s never faced someone like Du Plessis.

“Everyone says Khamzat is unbeatable. Let’s see how he handles someone who doesn’t fear him — someone who hits back harder,” Du Plessis said. “I’ll drag him into the deep and drown him.”

A Clash of Unbreakable Wills

What makes Du Plessis vs. Chimaev so compelling isn’t just the skills — it’s the mindset.

Dricus du Plessis thrives on adversity. He doesn’t just win — he breaks opponents mentally. From his war with Robert Whittaker to his intense standoff with Sean Strickland, Du Plessis has shown time and again that he gets stronger as the fight gets uglier.

Chimaev, by contrast, relies on overwhelming dominance. But questions remain: what happens when he can’t finish an opponent early? What happens when he gets pushed into a war of attrition?

“Khamzat’s never been tested. I will test his soul,” said Du Plessis. “Let’s see if he can fight when the fear is real.”

Training Camp of Fire: Du Plessis Pushes Beyond Limits

Preparing for Khamzat Chimaev isn’t just about fighting skills — it’s about mental fortitude. According to reports from his team in South Africa, Du Plessis is undergoing his most grueling training camp yet.

Endurance sessions in the mountains. Full-contact sparring without gloves. Ice baths followed by 5 a.m. grappling marathons.

“We’re preparing for war. I don’t need to win pretty. I just need to win violently,” Du Plessis said.

He’s not trying to outpoint Chimaev — he wants to finish him.

“He’s not as invincible as people think. He’s been rocked. He’s been slowed down. He’s human — and I specialize in exposing that.”

A History of Emotional Breakdowns: Du Plessis’s ‘Weeping Victims’ List

When Du Plessis talks about weeping victims, he’s not joking.

He claims that after nearly every major fight, his opponents — physically and emotionally shattered — have left the cage in tears, either backstage or on the canvas.

“It’s not just about winning. It’s about taking something from them. Something they can’t get back,” he said chillingly.

“I don’t win decisions — I take pieces of souls.”

From Darren Till’s defeated body language, to Whittaker’s empty stare post-fight, to Strickland’s ranting frustration, Du Plessis claims that his mental warfare is just as effective as his fists.

And he plans to add Khamzat Chimaev to that list.

“I’ll make him question everything. I’ll make him doubt for the first time in his life.”

Chimaev Responds: “I Will Smash This Clown”

Never one to stay silent, Chimaev has fired back in typical “Borz” fashion.

“I will smash this clown. He talks too much. We will see who cries in the cage,” Chimaev wrote on social media.

The Chechen-born star has promised an early finish, claiming that Du Plessis is slow, predictable, and mentally weak under pressure.

“He never fought a wolf like me,” Chimaev said. “I will eat him.”

This exchange has only added fuel to an already blazing fire of anticipation.

Mind Games Begin: Psychological Warfare in Full Swing

Both men are known for their ability to get inside opponents’ heads — but who will win the mental battle?

Du Plessis is playing the long game, planting seeds of doubt and portraying Chimaev as emotionally unstable.

“He talks big but disappears for months. Is he injured? Is he scared? He doesn’t even know what weight class he belongs in.”

This echoes a concern among some fans — Chimaev’s long absences, missed weights, and lack of consistency.

“You can’t hide forever,” Du Plessis added. “And when the cage locks, the truth comes out.”

UFC 319: A Night of Carnage Awaits

Set for UFC 319, the middleweight title showdown between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev is already being billed as one of the most violent fights in middleweight history.

The stakes? Legacy. Dominance. Pride. And possibly, tears.

“This won’t be a sporting contest. This is going to be a demolition,” said Du Plessis.

Chimaev, meanwhile, is promising to end the fight in the first round.

Two alpha predators. One cage. And only one will emerge with gold around his waist — and his reputation intact.

Final Thoughts: A Storm Is Coming

With less than two months to go, the tension is unbearable. The words exchanged have made this fight more than personal — it’s a collision of identities.

Du Plessis, the hard-nosed South African nationalist, fueled by grit and grit alone.

Chimaev, the Chechen-Swedish monster with wrestling ferocity and unbeaten confidence.

Who breaks first?

According to Dricus du Plessis, it will be Khamzat — and he’ll do it in front of the world.

“I will break him. I will batter him. And I will make him cry.”

And that’s not a prediction — it’s a promise.
