The likelihood of a bout between Dricus du Plessis and Nassourdine Imavov materializing next appears remote, with market probability for "Will Dricus Du Plessis fight Nasourdine Imavov next?" sitting at 6% YES against 94% NO. The positioning follows public comments from du Plessis' camp indicating a different direction. On Oct. 4, 2026, du Plessis' coach Morne Visser hinted at a Sean Strickland trilogy next, despite the former champion not planning an immediate return to competition. The remarks were reported as a major hint toward a third meeting with Strickland rather than a fresh matchup against Imavov. [Mmasucka, Oct 4]
Du Plessis himself has weighed in on the middleweight picture, breaking down the projected title fight between champion Sean Strickland (31-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) and Imavov. In comments dated Oct. 6, 2026, du Plessis said Imavov "hasn't evolved enough" to beat Strickland, and he predicted the outcome of the rumored Strickland vs. Imavov title bout. The commentary places du Plessis in an analytical role regarding the division's championship trajectory rather than as an imminent opponent for the French contender. [MMA Junkie, Oct 6]
Imavov, for his part, has publicly dismissed the idea of du Plessis overtaking his position. In comments dated July 19, 2026, Imavov shut down talk of du Plessis "stealing his UFC title shot" with a one-word response, signaling confidence that he will receive what he considers a deserved opportunity. With du Plessis' team pointing toward Strickland and Imavov aligned with a title path of his own, the conditions for a du Plessis fight against Imavov next remain limited. The central question now is whether the Strickland trilogy and the Imavov title picture resolve in a way that eventually pairs the two, a scenario the market currently prices as unlikely.
