“Right after our fight, before the judges even announced the winner, I walked up to Sean, shook his hand and said, ‘You’re a warrior, you did a good job, it was a great fight.’” And he answered me: “You defeated me.” These were his words. He added: “You deserve the title, you won this fight. You managed to defeat me,” Du Plessis was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
Let us remember that on January 20, in the main event of UFC 297 in Toronto, Canada, Du Plessis defeated Strickland by split decision.
