Dricus The Worlds Best Middleweight Will Teach Usman A Lesson
Mzansi's own Dricus Du Plessis is ready to remind the world exactly who the real middleweight champ is. July 18 at the UFC Oklahoma City headliner, Kamaru Usman getting whooped! A public execution. A battle for African supremacy.
This rivalry has been simmering since Du Plessis said fighters who left Africa in their youth and suddenly wanna claim the continent's glory. Usman got mad, admitting it "rubbed me wrong."
ODDS
Stillknox levels up after every fight. His wrestling and grappling are just as lethal as his striking now, Usman has nowhere to hide. Dricus has already beaten Sean Strickland twice and destroyed Robert Whittaker. He's conquered every elite striker the division has thrown at him this w is just so we can flex on our Naija brothers
