TORONTO – Emotions were calmer than expected when Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis got face-to-face for the first time during UFC 297 fight week.
After hurling insults at each other in prior exchanges, during Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) and Du Plessis (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) had a more respectful faceoff than what was seen in their first staredown in December.
