UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya had an ugly face-off with his next title challenger Dricus Du Plessis.
Du Plessis knocked out Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 in Las Vegas on Saturday night to set up a middleweight title fight with current champion Adesanya. The pair are expected to meet at an upcoming pay-per-view event on September 10 in Sydney, Australia. Adesanya was in attendance for Du Plessis' win and he got in the cage to staredown with his next title challenger.
Adesanya began shouting at Du Plessis during the face-off as he said: “This is my African brother right here, let’s go n****, what’s up b****? Let’s go n****, here n****. Wassup n****? Yeah, my African brother." Du Plessis replied to his rival's taunts: "I’m African but I ain’t no brother of yours, son."
