Dana White didn’t see anything wrong with Israel Adesanya’s racially-charged rant during his face-to-face with Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290.
Du Plessis scored the biggest win of his mixed martial arts career on Saturday night, besting former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker via a second-round TKO. The victory put ‘Stillknocks’ in pole position for a shot at the 185-pound crown currently held by two-time titleholder Israel Adesanya. Following Du Plessis’ win inside T-Mobile Arena, ‘Stylebender’ stormed the Octagon and delivered a series of racial remarks that had even his most loyal fans second-guessing their status as Adesanya supporters.
