Du Plessis unable to fight Adesanya at UFC 293, possible opponent known

UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya said that the main contender for his title Drycus Du Plessis refused to fight him at UFC 293, which will be held on September 10 in Sydney, Australia.

"I don't even know where to start, but Drycus Du Plessis... you're a fucking bitch. He says that his leg hurts. My knee was broken during my last fight. Guess what I did? I fought because that's what a damn champion does," Adesanya said.

Now, according to insider reports, the UFC is working on organizing a fight between Adesanya and the seventh number in the division. Sean Strickland. Contracts have not yet been signed, but the champion considers the American a worthy candidate:

“So, I will perform in Sydney anyway. I don't care who the opponent is. Driux Du Plessis dumped. He left. Sean Strickland, are you in? Let's do the male dance. I can show you how to really dance. I'm tired of you guys talking that you can fight, and therefore withdraw from the fight, ”concluded the New Zealand Nigerian.
