Why are Dricus du Plessis and Kamaru Usman fighting—and what does the winner actually gain?
Chael Sonnen breaks down one of the most intriguing matchups in MMA, questioning why this fight was made in the first place.
With Kamaru Usman moving up to middleweight to face former champion Dricus du Plessis, Chael believes there's more happening behind the scenes than the UFC has revealed.
Chael discusses Usman's impressive return against Joaquin Buckley, his controversial loss to Khamzat Chimaev, why he believes Usman deserved another opportunity, and how this fight impacts Sean Strickland, Nassourdine Imavov, Bo Nickal, and the future of the middleweight title picture.
Is this simply a super fight... or is the UFC setting up something much bigger?
