Ex-UFC fighter Brendan Schaub raised a few eyebrows with a recent claim about reigning UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus du Plessis.

Undefeated since joining the UFC in 2020, du Plessis is scheduled to try and defend his middleweight belt for the third time against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319. Schaub says that a double-champ bid isn’t out of the question for the South African, and he even went so far as to say that “Stillknocks” could also challenge for the UFC heavyweight title at some point.

The list of fighters that have competed in three different weight classes in the UFC is already a short one, and Ilia Topuria recently joined the exclusive club of double champions when he knocked out Charles Oliveira to win the lightweight belt at UFC 317.
