UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis from South Africa shared his strategy for the upcoming rematch against American Sean Strickland. The bout will headline UFC 312, set for February 9 in Sydney, Australia.
Dricus Du Plessis
I think we are most likely going to keep it standing. I know I have the cardio, I know I can push him back and I know I have the power to knock him out. So for me, that’s great. Then, if the opportunity comes to get a takedown, it’s a decision you have to make immediately. If you see the moment, you take it.
Recall that their first fight in January 2024 at UFC 297 ended with Du Plessis winning via split decision. His record stands at 22 wins and two losses, while Strickland has 29 wins and six losses.
