Whittaker explains why Du Plessis remains undefeated in the UFC

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker shared his opinion about the fighting style of the current belt holder Dricus Du Plessis.

“Anyone who has fought Drikus knows how awkward he is. Listen, he throws overhands from the first to the last seconds of the fight. Left side, right side. I have never seen such combinations. This guy is awkward, he is constantly changing stances, applying pressure, taking punches and trying to land.

He definitely has skills and his style is extremely awkward. This is my opinion. And it works. He doesn't have the most aesthetically pleasing fights, but it pays off. I love MMA because there are many roads to the top, and this is one of them,” Whittaker said on The MMA Hour.

Let us remind you that on January 20, in the main event of UFC 297 in Toronto, Canada, Du Plessis defeated Sean Strickland by split decision.
