Adesanya: I want to beat Du Plessis in his own country

UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya once again stated that he would like to fight with Dricus Du Plessis at the first promotion tournament in Africa.

“I'm not angry that he refused the fight, just disappointed. He missed his chance. It would be a big fight. However, I think it's even better. When the fight takes place, it will be one of the biggest battles in the history of the sport. Everything has its time.

We can fight in South Africa. Or somewhere else on the great African continent. We can do this in Nigeria, Morocco, but it will still be better if this happens in South Africa. I want to beat him in his own country, ”Adesanya is quoted by MMA Fighting.

Adesanya will defend his belt against Sean Strickland on September 9 at UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia.
