Abdul Razak Alhassan was fired up when addressing Dricus Du Plessis’ real African champion comments.
South Africa-born and raised Du Plessis claimed that he’ll be the one to bring the belt to Africa, arguing that unlike him, Israel Adesanya, Kamaru Usman, and Francis Ngannou no longer resided in Africa when they became UFC champions.
Adesanya was irked by Du Plessis’ comments, and that narrative is a big storyline in the lead-up to their title fight at UFC 305 Aug. 17 in Perth. Ghana’s Alhassan (12-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) did not take it easy on Du Plessis, blasting him for what he deemed as insensitive comments.
