Du Plessis: “I’m not one of those who refuse fights without a good reason”
Top South African middleweight Dricus Du Plessis commented on criticism from the organization's president, Dana White.
Let us remember that White previously said that Du Plessis could lose his contender status due to his refusal to fight Israel Adesanya at the UFC 293 tournament.
“Dana is unhappy that I refused to fight Adesanya on seven weeks notice while injured. I don’t really understand it, but this is business and I have different views on things.
Watch this story: Whittaker: "The rematch with Du Plessis will be different."
I know for sure that I am not one of those people who refuse to perform without a good reason. I have repeatedly taken fights on short notice. When I receive a call from matchmakers, I always answer: “Okay, let's go.” But this time I didn’t have the opportunity to do it due to injury,” Du Plessis was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
