TORONTO – After previous insults, making fun of past trauma, tears, and a brawl, it looks like Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis are on good terms.
Heading into their middleweight title fight this Saturday, which headlines UFC 297, Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) and Du Plessis (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) have surprisingly squashed their beef.
First, they were caught on video on Wednesday running into each other hugging it out and being nice to each other, and then Strickland confirmed at Thursday’s UFC 297 pre-fight press conference that the two are cool.
