UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis has spoken out about his upcoming fight with former titleholder Israel Adesanya, which takes place on August 18 at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia.
"At the press conference, Israel tried to convince himself and you that he is still willing and able to be here. He said: "It's not about titles anymore. Izzy will never get what he had again. I've got plenty of time and he's already done all he can do in terms of legacy. Izzy is trying to convince himself that he still wants to fight and is capable of doing it. My mission is to show him that he doesn't. Enjoy your golf game, I'm the new champion and the new king of this division, so I'll make sure he realizes that," Du Plessis told BJ Penn.
