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.
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.
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
Lol he never comments. Just flips me the bird on every comment I make
