Off the back of his stunning middleweight championship reclamation at UFC 287 over the course of last weekend, Israel Adesanya has offered to fight the surging division contender, Dricus du Plessis in his next walk – claiming he will “drag his carcass” across du Plessis’ native country.
Headlining UFC 287 over the course of the weekend in Miami, Florida, Adesanya turned in a stunning second round knockout win over four-fight rival, Alex Pereira – defeating the Brazilian for the first time during their series in a devastating KO victory.
Minting himself as a two-time middleweight championship holder, Nigerian-Kiwi striker, Adesanya had dropped his crown to Pereira at UFC 281 back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden with a fifth round TKO loss of his own.
As for former KSW and EFC gold holder, du Plessis, the current #6 ranked middleweight contender managed to promotional-perfect run under the UFC banner to five fights back in March against common-foe, Derek Brunson, landing a corner stoppage TKO success.
