Having missed out on a title showdown with undisputed middleweight champion, israel Adesanya next month at UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia – number one ranked contender, Dricus du Plessis is holding out for a grudge fight with the former on the continent of Africa in a first landing for the Octagon in the region.
Pretoria native, du Plessis, managed to land the number one ranked at the middleweight limit at UFC 290 back in July during International Fight Week, defeating former champion and common-foe, Robert Whittaker with a huge second round TKO in the pair’s official title-eliminator.
