UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis said he has given his consent to fight Israel Adesanya.
"I'm in. I'm in for anything. I'm ready. This is the fight I want. I called it in 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.
