The pulsating core of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) thrives on the unyielding determination of its toptier fighters who grace the octagon. Sean Strickland, the reigning Middleweight Champion, is a prime example of such a gladiator. He claimed his title in a stunning showdown against Israel Adesanya. Now, we’re exploring the approaching clash where Strickland is set to defend his title against the challenger, Dricus Du Plessis. This bout promises to be the highlight event of UFC 297.
UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland is preparing to fight Dricus Du Plessis in a unique showdown, which he views as a formidable challenge due to Du Plessis’ unorthodox fighting style. Strickland values skill and upholding the sport’s integrity, expressing his discontent with the UFC’s inclination towards ticketselling individuals rather than deserving fighters. The upcoming fight between Strickland and Du Plessis in Toronto on January 20th is highly anticipated, with Strickland commending the UFC for making the right choices and focusing on the sport’s professional rankings.
South African middleweight fighter Dricus Du Plessis has high hopes of becoming the future African champion of UFC. With a professional record of 192 and having won all five of his UFC fights, he is currently ranked #6 in the UFC middleweight rankings. Although some fans and experts have questioned whether he deserves a title shot after beating two pastprimed fighters in Derek Brunson and Darren Till, Du Plessis believes he is ready.
