Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya congratulated the newly-minted title holder Dricus Du Plessis with victory over Sean Strickland.

“Dricus used wrestling in the end to pick up the rounds. By my count, he took the third, fourth and fifth rounds. And now he is the fourth African champion in UFC history.

So congratulations to you, my African brother, Dricus du Plessis! I’m very happy for him, I like his story and all that, but I’ll still test his strength,” Adesanya said in the latest episode of his YouTube channel.

Let us remember that last weekend at the UFC 297 tournament in Toronto, Du Plessis beat Strickland by split decision.
