Du Plessis won that fight via KO and faced off with Adesanya in a memorable stare down. However, things haven’t panned out the way they should have because Du Plessis opted out of the bout because of his inability to recover.

Many fans and pundits pitched him to fight for the title. Moreover, both Adesanya and Strickland agreed on the bout. However, things are not looking very bright for that fight!

In his signature style, Strickland talked about Du Plessis not fighting for the title.
