Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker shared his opinion about his closest rival Dricuse Du Plessis, with whom he will share the octagon on July 8 at UFC 290 in Las Vegas.

“I saw how, regarding our fight, he said:“ This is not the smartest decision, but I am ready to fight. And that's why I'm glad to meet him. His attitude makes me give my best. Drykus seems like a decent guy to me, I see a warrior in him.

I am delighted that I will have such an opponent. He understands our craft and is aware of what we are getting into, ”BJ Penn quotes Whittaker.
