The escalating tension between Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis is increasingly captivating. Their contention harks back to an eventful encounter where Strickland, defending his title for the first time, battled with Du Plessis through the entire length of five rounds. However, following the announcement that christened Dricus Du Plessis as the victor, Strickland, also known as ‘Tarzan’, was noticeably discontented. His complaints revolved around the judgment he deemed erroneous, and this ignited his desire for a rematch.
The resonating echo of ‘Tarzan’s’ loss had continued since that fateful game, nourishing his desire for a revision. Eventually, the opportunity presented itself and Strickland wasted no time in challenging Du Plessis to a duel. But his confirmation did not resonate well with ‘Stillknocks’, Du Plessis’s moniker in the competitive world.
‘If your intent revolves around standing game only, consider pursuing boxing… Sean Strickland may have a plethora of catchphrases to appear intimidating, but I unveil the facade of those posturing toughness… I am not in the sport to establish agreements. Victory is my ultimate endeavor,’ Du Plessis counteracted.
The victorious stride of Du Plessis over Israel Adesanya has elevated his assurance significantly. Simultaneously, Sean Strickland is brewing with enthusiasm for his imminent UFC 312 game. Recently, ‘Tarzan’ has intensified his challenge by urging Du Plessis to forfeit groundwork in favor of a stand-up fight. Proclaimed through these terms, he is seeking a venturous engagement from both sides for the course of the game.
In Strickland’s words, ‘Listen up, Dricus, I anticipate you to behave like an adult and fight standing… I am aware of your affection for wrestling and strangling opponents.’
Nevertheless, scrutinizing the response from DDP, Du Plessis doesn’t appear to commit to this understanding. And as the verbal altercation continues to heat up, the upcoming UFC 312 awaits to disclose who will have the final jovial moment.
