“It’s Kind of Weird”: After Israel Adesanya’s “Real African” Claims Brewed Up a Storm, Ex-Opponent Mocks Dricus Du Plessis Rivalry in Cold-Blooded Take

Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis have been generating quite a lot of friction lately. The two fighters have been going back and forth on the internet. The rivalry between the two took a grave turn when Du Plessis questioned Adesanya being a “real African”. Prior to Du Plessis’ match with Robert Whittaker at UFC 290, the UFC middleweight champion demanded he defeated Whittaker and fought him.

Without a doubt, the heat has emanated to almost every single part of the world and fighters have begun giving opinions on the scenario. Recently, Marvin Vettori was asked about his opinion on Du Plessis’ fight with Whittaker and his feud with Adesanya. The #5 ranked contender simply believed the entire thing to be nothing but weird.

He said, “Well, I think Whittaker is going to win. But African, more African, I don’t know man. There are so many things in the world like, ‘I was there first, I was there after, I’m more, you know, I deserve this more because-‘ it’s, I don’t know man. It’s weird you know, like seeing like some some African super white, it’s kind of weird. But it is like that, because you know, for generations they’ve been there. So, I don’t know. It is what it is, it was funny to watch, and I mean to see it happening. It is what it is.”

Adesanya’s response to du Plessis

‘Stillknocks’ previously questioned the ethnicity of ‘The Last Stylebender’. During a conversation with Ariel Helwani, the middleweight champ responded to Du Plessis.

He was utterly disappointed with du Plessis’ comment and wanted to “educate” him. Hence, he picked ‘Stillknocks’ over ‘The Reaper’ in their upcoming fight in order to get a chance to land against him.
