Video: Is Dricus Du Plessis being overlooked against Robert Whittaker at UFC 290?

UFC middleweight contender Dricus Du Plessis has the toughest test of his career ahead.

On the main card of UFC 290 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Du Plessis (19-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) faces former champion Robert Whittaker. The winner will find himself in a prime position for a shot at Israel Adesanya’s title.

However, when looking at the betting lines, it appears oddsmakers aren’t giving Du Plessis much of a chance against Whittaker (25-6 MMA, 15-4 UFC). According to FanDuel, Du Plessis is a +285 underdog facing a sizeable -400 favorite in Whittaker.
