It’s not quite official but pretty close at at this point that Dricus Du Plessis will not be able to fight Israel Adesanya at UFC 293 on Sept. 9 in Sydney. He was banged up going into the Robert Whittaker fight, and that turnaround is just too soon, I’m told. If that ends up being the case, and Israel Adesanya stays on the card, which is his desire, it’ll be Adesanya x Sean Strickland for the middleweight title on 9/9.

One of the least deserving title shots of all time. What a joke

Pretty fucking stupid. Du Plessis is clearly the number one contender and trying to get him to have a short camp for a championship fight is ridiculous. All just so they can put Adesanya on the Australian card lol. I hope no one thinks this is a real sport.

The UFC is a fight business. Not a ranked organization.

Strickland will be a lot more fun to watch.

Look for yourself. There’s dozens upon dozens of middle finger reactions on me :joy::joy:

I have him on Ignore but can’t even remember why

That’s not fair.

He was getting close before the AP loss, and Alex went in after that and knocked Izzy out with the same punch. Plus he took that one fight on 2 days notice with the Dagi and won, that helped him into Dana’s good graces.

8-2 in his last 10, his only losses a split decision and a KO by Alex. He’s maybe not number 1 but he’s definitely deserving of getting the call if Drakar is hurt and

He’s going from an unranked win to a title shot that’s WILD lol

Are you new? (Don’t answer, hardcore casual) it has happened before. Hell, Conor is a win away from a title shot.

Yeah but no one else wanted to fight that unranked Soviet.

His previous fights were ranked guys.

The UFC gives some insane underserved title shots. This isn’t one of them in my opinion
