American UFC welterweight Michael Chiesa claims that the fight between the champion of the promotion in the middle division Dricus Du Plessis and former title holder in the same category Israel Adesanya is under development.

“We have the same agent with Drikus, and now they are trying to organize a fight between Du Plessis and Izzy. I know that Drikus injured his leg in his last fight, and it looks like they are working on a new contract,” MMA Mania quotes Chiesa.

Let us remind you that on January 20 at the UFC 297 tournament in Toronto, Canada, Du Plessis defeated Sean Strickland by split decision and won the championship title.
