“Du Plessis will beat Adesanya. In the fight with him, Sean Strickland was the same as before, but Drikus passed him. Will he be able to do the same in a fight with Adesanya? We'll see.
Drikus is a difficult opponent, he is clumsy and constantly applies pressure. It doesn't matter if he misses shots, he shows incredible tenacity and moves forward. I’m betting on Drikus,” Whittaker said on The MMA Hour.
Let us remember that last weekend at the UFC 297 tournament Du Plessis defeated Strickland by split decision and won the championship belt.
