Du Plessis claims to have agreed to fight Adesanya

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis said he has given his consent to fight Israel Adesanya.

"I'm in. I'm agreeing to everything. I'm ready. This is the fight I want. I called him out after winning the belt and this is the fight the fans want to see. Let's just announce it. I don't know what the reason for the delay is. I want it announced, I want it to happen, I want it to happen if that's the case. I said yes, 100 percent. I don't know from his side, I don't know what the story is, what the delay is because of. Maybe the UFC is waiting for something, I'm not sure. I agreed to this fight...," MMA Fighting quoted Du Plessis as saying.
