Expected to book his premiere title outing under the UFC banner – potentially as soon as September at UFC 293 in Australia, surging middleweight contender, Dricus du Plessis can most certainly upset the apple cart with a title victory against champion, Israel Adesanya, according to lightweight veteran, Michael Chandler.
du Plessis, the newly-minted number one ranked middleweight contender, managed to land himself atop the pecking order at 185lbs last weekend, defeating former champion and common-foe, Robert Whittaker with a blistering second round ground strikes TKO win.
Met by two-time and current undisputed middleweight champion, Adesanya inside the Octagon in a racially-charged verbal assault, Dricus du Plessis is expected to potentially fight the Nigerian-born striker as soon as UFC 293 in September, in a trip to Sydney, Australia.
