Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi is a big fan of Etiosa Ighodaro. The Sundowns man is in limbo after returning to Chloorkop from a loan spell at AmaZulu. The German website transfermarkt values him at €1.4 million, or R29 million. Obviously, Chiefs wouldn't need tyo stump up that much to land their man.

Chimaev beats Dricus for UFC middleweight title
The Russian dominated the South African, pinning him to the ground for the bulk of the five rounds. South Africa's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis had no answers for undefeated Russian Khamzat Chimaev's wrestling as he succumbed to a unanimous decision defeat at UFC 319 in Chicago on Sunday. The Russian found the going very easy as he took the South African down to the canvass at will and dominated for most of the 25 minutes. Du Plessis failed to use his striking as Chimaev tired him out like an anaconda hunting its prey. 'The man has incredible control, he is like a blanket on you. He beat me fair and square, and congratulations to him,' Du Plessis said in his octagon interview after the fight. This was Du Plessis third defence attempt after earlier winning fights against Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya. Chimaev dominated on the scorecard after keeping Du Plessis pinned to the ground for most of the five five-minute rounds. The South African had no answer to counter the Russian. Whether the outgoing champion gets an immediate rematch will remain to be seen. More to follow…

Brave Dricus du Plessis loses UFC middleweight crown in bloody fight
A brave but bloodied Dricus du Plessis surrendered his UFC middleweight crown to Russian Khamzat Chimaev on a points decision in Chicago on Saturday night. Khamzat dominated the South African, scoring frequent take-downs and then punishing the champion with shots. But in the final round Du Plessis produced a few moments of hope in the final fifth, turning one take-down around and landing some good punches at distance, but it wasn't enough.
