New UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis explained why, after defeating Strickland, he decided to challenge Adesanya.

“There is nothing personal about the confrontation with Izzy. This is exactly the fight fans want to see. I want to fight the best. There are a lot of guys I'm going to fight, but the fans want to see me fight Izzy. A lot of hype has already been built on this. If the fans somehow don’t want to see this fight, then it won’t happen. This is normal for me. I don't care who stands opposite me. But this is just the fight that I think people want to see and that would get a lot of people excited.”
