Dricus Du Plessis, the current UFC middleweight champion, shared his opinion on the organization's former champion in the division, Israel Adesanya.

"What he's accomplished in the sport is impressive, it's amazing. If you have disrespect for Izzy as an athlete, you're an idiot. As a human being, you can have your opinion. But when it comes to what he's accomplished in the sport, it's magnificent. Izzy is an incredible fighter. Fighting him would cement my legacy. Long before I came to the UFC, Izzy was a champion and he set the bar for what kind of fighter you need to be to be a champion," MMA Mania quoted Dricus as saying.
