Till: "If Adesanya beats Du Plessis, he's a candidate for a top-10 MMA fighter"

Former UFC fighter Darren Till has weighed in on the upcoming fight between Israel Adesanya and Dricus Du Plessis.

"Yeah, I think if Adesanya beats du Plessis, he's going to be in that conversation of the top 10 fighters in MMA because he's beaten everybody. But that's the problem, again, we were talking about MMA fans, they're so quick to say, "Oh, you're shit!" It's just really annoying, like Adesanya is an idiot! He's a phenomenon and I'm one of those guys who talks a lot of shit, but when it comes to reality, you have to give some of them 100% credit," MMA News quoted Till as saying.

Recall, the bout between Adesanya and Du Plessis will take place on August 17 at UFC 305.
