► Can Du Plessis be imposed on the brute force of Chimaev?
Chimaev ha sido blunt, fast and dominant Since his arrival, closing fights abruptly. However, the atypical style of “Stillknocks” – apparently uncoordinated, almost clumsy – has baffled Titans as Whittaker, Strickland y Adesanya, transforming into a key advantage in his reign. The low profile of the opponent and his physical wear lift doubts: Will Chimaev endure the rhythm to the fifth assault?
► Aaron Pico's fire test
In the couleslar, Aaron Pico (13-4) debuts in UFC Before the undefeated Lerone Murphy (16-0-1): a generational shock which revitalizes the weight weight division. Pico brings with him an aura of promise and determination – as when his son said: “Finally you are professional” – and arrives with the urgency of testing its value.
