Dricus du Plessis Sends a Message to Israel Adesanya
South African MMA sensation Dricus du Plessis has a strong warning for Israel Adesanya following the Nigerian-born fighter’s recent announcement of an extended break from the sport.

Concerns Over Adesanya’s Prolonged Absence

He emphasizes that the Nigerian fighter deserves a break but suggests that coming back after such an extended period might lead to adverse outcomes.
Acknowledging Adesanya’s Legacy
Despite personal differences and a lack of affection for Adesanya, du Plessis acknowledges the former champion’s legacy in the Middleweight division.
He emphasizes that Adesanya has earned the right to take some time off, but cautions against a prolonged absence, suggesting that a year off might be more suitable.
Respect for Adesanya as a Martial Artist
Du Plessis makes it clear that, despite any personal animosity, he respects Adesanya as a martial artist. He highlights Adesanya’s contribution to the sport and urges him to maintain strength outside the ring during his break.
Dricus du Plessis’ Ongoing Pursuit of the UFC Middleweight Title
