Du Plessis: "In the rematch, I'll finish Strickland."

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 19, 2024, 8:03 a.m.

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis has no doubts that he can deal with former belt holder Shawn Strickland, who is expected to be his next opponent, early.

"He won't be able to handle what I'm going to offer him, and this time I'm going to finish him off. You saw how he beat Yisrael and how I did, and you can compare for yourself. That's about how I'm going to end this fight.

Whittaker is more deserving of a title fight, and Strickland only got it because he lost to me by split decision. Whittaker beat Costa more convincingly than Strickland did, and he agreed to fight Hamzat. Chimaev dropped out, and Robert beat a tough fighter Ikram Aliskerov so that he looked like an ordinary amateur", - said Du Plessis at the press conference.

Du Plessis defeated Israel Adesanya by fourth-round choke in the main event of UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, on Aug. 18.
