Dricus Du Plessis Explains How He Taught Himself MMA From Magazines: “I Would Train Them with My Brother.”

Before becoming a UFC champion, Dricus Du Plessis taught himself mixed martial arts through old issues of Fighters Only magazine.

On Saturday, February 8, ‘Stillknocks’ will return to the Octagon set to defend his middleweight title for the second time when he meets the man he took the gold from a little more than a year ago, Sean Strickland. The two will headline UFC 312 when the promotion heads back to Sydney, Australia for its second pay-per-view event of 2025.
