Undisputed middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis claims he is “ready to die” in his title grudge fight with Sean Strickland this weekend at UFC 312 — claiming that exact readiness is the reason why he currently holds the gold at 185lbs.
du Plessis, the current undisputed middleweight champion — who is in the midst of an impressive unbeaten run since his Octagon landing five years ago, headlines the promotion’s return to Sydney this weekend in a grudge re-run with ex-champion, Strickland.
Sidelined since last summer, Pretoria native, du Plessis most recently lodged the first successful defense of the middleweight crown with a stunning fourth round face crank submission over recent UFC Saudi Arabia headliner, Israel Adesanya.
