Chimaev discusses du Plessis\u2019 style<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone says he has a weird style, very weird \u2013 that\u2019s MMA, MMA style,\u201d Chimaev told reporters at a media day. \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s some crazy, weird (fighter), but he does his job. He does good and he\u2019s a good fighter. I am better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen someone laying down on the mats, it\u2019s how weird you are on the ground,\u201d Chimaev said. \u201cGround and pound, submissions \u2013 they don\u2019t care about your style. We will see. We\u2019ll be happy to see him in the cage. We will fight him striking, wrestling, grappling. I want to know how he can handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just making money, having fun,\u201d Chimaev said. \u201cIf he wants to take it personally, it\u2019s up to him. For me, it\u2019s just work. It makes people happy, it makes me happy. Like I said before, beating somebody makes me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
