Du Plessis has no plans to fight at UFC 300

Dricus Du Plessis, the current UFC middleweight champion, does not plan to fight at the 300th anniversary event.

“I think UFC 300 will be a huge event and it would be great to be a part of it. Anniversary tournaments like UFC 100, UFC 200, and now UFC 300 are always huge events with big pay-per-view sales, there's a huge buzz, and I'd love to be a part of it, but not this time. If I participate, it means I won’t go into the fight completely healthy, and defending my title is more important to me than participating in this iconic event,” MMAFighting quotes Du Plessis.
