Dricus Du Plessis Came Back Even More Dangerous

Dricus Du Plessis doesn’t fight like anyone else in the UFC—and some of the greatest middleweights ever still couldn’t solve him.

He stopped Robert Whittaker, defeated Sean Strickland twice and became the first fighter to submit Israel Adesanya. Then Khamzat Chimaev took his title and made him look ordinary for the first time.

Eleven months later, DDP returned against Kamaru Usman and proved he was far from finished. Now he owns two victories over the reigning champion, but remains stuck behind Nassourdine Imavov and Chimaev in the middleweight title picture.

Does Dricus Du Plessis deserve the next shot?

DDP need to put Khamzat in his place, but the coward will never accept it because he's exposed and he can never win standing up.

Khamzat needs to wait as long as DDP has to wait. How can he jump before DDP. First title defense he looses , so get back in line

I am also from Pretoria and I am so proud of DDP. Can we stop the "akward style" thing now? I think a lot of people and opponents have no idea what they are dealing with in DDP. His resolve is next level. If an opponent exposes a weakness he fixes it. My prediction is that he will get the belt back and become the greatest middleweight in the history of MMA, if not the GOAT in all of MMA. He will want nothing less because that is who he is.

Awesome, can't wait to see what is next for him in the UFc. Tough sport to follow when you only follow a handful of fighters. Things seem to move at a glacial pace

I'm proud to call myself A South African and can't wait for our champion to get the belt back I don't think Immavov will beat him if he gets the belt from Strickland and I don't think we should count Strickland out but the facts remain ? Right ? ❤🎉
