Strickland vowed to kill Du Plessis

Sean Strickland, the current UFC middleweight champion, said he spoke with Dricus Du Plessis and warned him that he would kill him if he brought up the topic of Sean’s difficult childhood again.

“I talked to Drikus after that fight at UFC 296. I like the guy. We will have a war with him. We will have a battle to the death. It won't end any other way. Someone's going to get the fuck knocked out... I sent him a message: "Dude, listen, we're going to try to kill each other, but if you talk about this [my childhood] again, I'm going to fucking stab you."

Let us remind you that the confrontation between Strickland and Du Plessis will headline UFC 297, which will take place on January 21.
