Ah, the drama of it all – a new challenge is what UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya desires. He has obliterated any contender that stepped forward in recent years, yet with one rival already retiring from MMA and another making his way up to 205 pounds (kudos to him, though), the path is indeed clear for Adesanya to take on someone new. Who could it be? Who else but Dricus Du Plessis!
Du Plessis is 5-0 since entering the UFC Octagon, with four resilient opponents going down by KO or submission under his hands! Surely this warrants a match-up between these African warriors, ranked No.1 and No.8 respectively in MMA Fighting Global Rankings? What’s even better (well not really) about the situation is their history of back-and-forth exchanges regarding their African heritage – Adesanya hails from Nigeria whilst Du Plessis resides in South Africa.
As much as we’d like to keep talking about their historic-friendly debates over which side of Africa’s border they come from while sipping teaSponsored Product beside our monitor screens/snorting coffee due to unforeseen hilarious outbursts/feverishly typing snide remarks at how petty this beef seems over colonization concerns; we have some news for you.
No sooner does Pereira abandon middle weight than did he leave behind an open space fit for anyone wanting to brawl against “The Last Stylebender”. A title-holder who now wants fresh meat just because everyone else appears unsatisfyingly unripe leaves no questions around whether Dricus should be given a chance at beating Israel’s desk-pounding temperaments once and for all.
Just recently during an interview on The MMA Hour show where Adesanya let slip some sensational little secret nuggets into airwaves that he hopes Dricus comes away victorious when fighting Robert Whittaker next month/July 8 so that the two of them can duke it out in Sydney come September (cue cheer and applause). Adesanya has made considerable rounds in Australia throughout his career, thus making this location a preferred pick for him.
The feud between Adesanya and Du Plessis escalated when Dricus claimed that he had stronger ties to Africa than Israel as Du Plessis lives/trains on African soil whereas Adesanya is based in New Zealand. Well, what did you expect? A fresh piece of meat just crowds everyone’s mind causing players to become defensive about all things cultural. Of course, with both fighters trying to one-up each other regarding their connection with Africa there are bound to be snobby comments which makes more interesting match-ups.
Even though Collonisation is still up for debate questions were asked around who holds “true” roots within South African/Nigeran Northlands region; these were sidestepped through fistfuls of contradictory remarks ultimately leading both individuals patching over any tiffs towards each other – or so we thought… But wait! It doesn’t stop here!
In true festive spirit during another interview, our Naija representative went further at addressing a crowd saying how he supports anyone from anywhere as long they follow no-brainers like respectfulness/bond-building/flexibility…you get the idea. He reminded fans that initially met Dricus following an ass-waxing that happened its way back into relevance upon recalling invigorating experiences shared together.
Adesanya recalls supporing his fellow African when entering UFC by calling him “another boy joining UFC” while praising the diligence/assertiveness required from an individual gifted with some level talent but work needed excavating/buildout/repairs/etc until finally becoming worthy enough within said organization-something fundamental needs not forgotten today either even if snowflakes now reign supreme across social media platforms all around us; let’s face it-none of us got where we are through laziness/hyper-sensitivity, did we now?
Moving on…Should Du Plessis win his fight in July against Robert Whittaker (a much-anticipated match by fans with chomping at the bits for a classic back-and-forth) he has only two months to train and prepare for his next challenge – Adesanya. Even if one is mentally prepared going into an event as life-changing as this who knows what untoward accidents can occur? But let’s assume things go well.
Adesanya will be watching his bud while simultaneously conjuring some precise vibe space magic/exuberance mixed with justifiable disapproval towards forcing Dricus upright from whence he falls come September – should everything fall right that way of course! “It’s going to be first round, Dricus, f him up…” says our title-holder oozing confidence/seething spite remising about all those new physical moments anticipated while gravitating elbow jabs/quick heel kicks into thin air inspiring all sorts of possible war-like battle scenerios #revengebyproxy #fulltimeentertainment
