Islam Makhachev has weighed in on the upcoming middleweight bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman, predicting Du Plessis will come out on top. Makhachev noted that Usman's strategy of moving up in weight makes sense — a win over Du Plessis would position Usman as the next title contender given his prior win over Strickland.
