The middleweight title fight between challenger Khamzat Chimaev and champion Dricus Du Plessis is shaping up to be a massive event in Chicago Aug. 16.

Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev both displayed confidence at the first faceoff for Saturday's UFC 319 title fight.

Chimaev's nickname "Borz" translates to "wolf," a fitting moniker for a fighter who lunges and clamps onto foes with rabid precision. Chimaev and his many supporters see him as the UFC's apex predator. But Du Plessis is the king of the middleweight jungle. He's tracked Chimaev for a long time, and at UFC 319, he's going wolf hunting.
