Du Plessis hopes to defend his title at UFC 300

At the same time, the South African noted that the timing of his return to the Octagon will depend on his recovery after the fight with Sean Strickland, in which he won by split decision and won the title.

“This is what I want to do. There's a good chance I'll return to UFC 300 if my body allows it. Apparently I sustained minor injuries. I'll go to the doctor and make sure the concussion tests are done and we'll do a scan to make sure there's nothing serious. If everything is in order, then there is a high, high probability of performing at UFC 300,” MMA Mania quotes the fighter.
