Dricus Du Plessis's coach, Morne Visser, has announced that while a matchup against Khamzat Chimaev is confirmed, it will not occur during the International Fight Week. Initially speculated for UFC 317 on June 28, the fight is postponed as the UFC plans different events for that time. Visser dismissed rumors of an injury affecting the fight's scheduling and confirmed they are merely waiting for the official contract. Du Plessis has been undefeated since 2019 and recently secured the title against Sean Strickland, adding to the anticipation of his next matchup.
"We haven't signed a contract. The fight was never confirmed. We were talking about it. And no injuries man, that's bulls--t. We're fighting Khamzat..."
"Definitely not gonna be International Fight Week, they've got something else planned for that. I'm sure everybody knows what they've got planned..."
