UFC 305: Paradoxical champion Dricus du Plessis keeps defying the odds

If it weren’t for the fact that he keeps winning every time, you might be able to talk yourself into thinking that UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis isn’t such a great fighter.

If you were just going on looks alone, maybe. If you only watched the early parts of his fights, like when he was out there lunging at Israel Adesanya in the UFC 305 main event. Or even later, when he was getting his ribs tenderized with punches and kicks while looking like a man who was wishing he could call time out and sit a spell.
