Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis is scheduled for his third title defense against undefeated Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of UFC 319 on Saturday. Du Plessis won the middleweight belt last year in January at UFC 297, where he defeated Sean Strickland via split decision. His first title defense was against former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, and Du Plessis defeated Adesanya by submitting him in the fourth round. In his last bout in February at UFC 312, Du Plessis rematched Strickland and outclassed the former champion en route to a unanimous decision win. DraftKings sees Du Plessis as the underdog with a salary of $7,300.--Alen Kurbasic
