Israel Adesanya once more middleweight champion, the clan he forms with Kamaru Usman and Francis Ngannou has found a smile. Following the criticism addressed to the three stars by another fighter, the Stylebender however retaliated cash!
Francis Ngannou gone, Kamaru Usman beaten twice by Leon Edwards, Israel Adesanya overwhelmed by Alex Pereira… The group of “3 Kings” had clearly not looked good for a few months. Fortunately, the last city was able to bounce back by regaining his belt at UFC 279. Something to make Ngannou ecstatic… but not necessarily the South African Dricus du Plessis, critical of the three stars:
Have these belts ever been to Africa? For me, they just stayed in the US or went to New Zealand. I’m going to bring one back to Africa. It’s me, the African UFC fighter, with Cameron (Saaiman). We are the ones who breathe the African air, who were born there, who live there, who train there. That’s an African champion, and that’s what I’m going to be.
Izzy Adesanya dismantles Dricus du Plessis
Arrived at the UFC in 2020, du Plessis quickly climbed the ladder, to the point of appearing for a few months in the middleweight ranking. A ranking obviously dominated once more by Adesanya, who was therefore the subject of this big tackle from his counterpart. Unsurprisingly, the Nigerian-born champion did not let him pass without reacting, and savagely replied to “Stillknocks”:

I want to kick his ass. Such. I want to do it in South Africa or Nigeria. But he still has to work for it. Let him show me that he deserves me to kick his ass and make him understand the story. When you talk regarding the people who paved the way for you, you have to choose your words carefully. I pray he keeps winning, so I can drag his carcass all over Africa.
Delivered on the sidelines of UFC 279, these words have aged quite well since. Indeed, while he is recovering slowly following the reconquest of his throne, the Stylebender will soon be able to attend the fight supposed to determine his next opponent for the title. A fight in which du Plessis will participate, who will face Robert Whittaker at UFC 290. The clash of the Africans might therefore well take place followingwards!
Attacked on his African roots by Dricus du Plessis, in the same way as Francis Ngannou and Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya did not take long to answer him. Their possible reunion in the octagon promises to be tough!
