The other day, former two-division UFC champion and current commentator and analyst Daniel Cormier suggested that the promotion was working out a fight between current middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Du Plessis later hinted that Cormier's words were true.
"It looks like someone wanted another defeat in Australia. I'm in. Understand correctly Israel, I too would have no desire to fight the king of Africa on his native soil," wrote Du Plessis.
Recall, in his last fight Du Plessis won a split decision over Sean Strickland and became the new UFC middleweight champion.
