Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker winner with thoughts about the upcoming fight with Dricus Du Plessis, which will be held on the night of July 9 as part of the UFC 290 tournament in Las Vegas.

We will remind, earlier UFC President Dana White announced that the winner of this meeting will become the next opponent of the reigning division champion Israel Adesanya.

“At the moment, this is the most dangerous fight in my career. Drykus is a large, athletic and versatile fighter. And besides, he has nothing to lose. Everyone has already written him off, he is an outsider in our fight. But name me someone more dangerous than a person who has nothing to lose, but who has the opportunity to win everything.

To show respect for the level of danger he represents, I have been working like a madman for the past 14 weeks. This weekend he will meet the best version of me. And may the strongest win, ”quotes the Australian MMA Mania.
