Robert Whittaker thinks it’s only right for Dricus Du Plessis to get the next title shot.
Du Plessis (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) cemented himself as No. 1 contender after stopping Whittaker by Round 2 TKO at UFC 290. But when he couldn’t make a quick turnaround for UFC 293, the promotion handed Sean Strickland the title shot against then champion Israel Adesanya. Strickland upset Adesanya to claim the belt.
