Dricus du Plessis warns the enemy
“Stillknocks” looks forward to his next matchup at Octagon, but it has yet to be seen who Doricus du Plessis will face in his next fight.
Du Plessis was last seen defeating Israel’s Adesanya in UFC 305, earning his first defense of his middleweight championship belt.
“DDP” appears most likely to face either Sean Strickland or Kamza Chimeh in his next match after sending a message to the pair this week via his YouTube channel.
“Strickland, I felt everything you could give, and this time I promise there’s no need for the judges to be there. You think you’re strong, you think you’re strong, you didn’t feel anything. I can’t wait until I see it in his face.”

The current middleweight champion has already faced the Stricklands of the Octagon and was headed for the title fight when the fighters met at UFC 297 in January.
Du Plessis was asked which opponent is more likely for him in the next match, and it appears that South Africa will likely win Strickland instead of Chimaev.
“There was more conversation () about me fighting Strickland,” Duplesis said. “But there was a very big reason why the contract wasn’t signed. I’m saying this as an opinion. I agreed to fight Strickland, that’s the fight the fans want.
“If you ask what I want, I want to fight the best guy. I want to fight the guy my fans want to make me fight, and that’s 100% Khamzat.”
Duplesis offered to fight Chimev anywhere in the world, limiting where Russian enemies could fight.
