UFC: Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis talk about the tension in their relationship ahead of the mega fight for 305 in Perth.
Izzy/Dricus stoush starts to brew | 02:44Israel Adesanya has accused the UFC of deliberately ignoring his highlight reel knockout of Brazil ian superstar Alex Pereira – and even blanking it from social media -- while also stressing Dricus du Plessis “didn’t say s***” in the latest build to their explosive Australian headliner.
Only a day earlier, both Adesanya and du Plessis had attended a Perth press conference that eventually involved an intense staredown stretching 90 seconds – and with even UFC executives and security unable to break it. However when asked for his own version of the interaction on Thursday, Adesanya laughed: “He didn’t say s****.“It was a bit weird.
Adesanya and Pereira share a rivalry that stretches back years to their kickboxing days, where the latter scored two wins over the Kiwi – including one via vicious KO. “And after his fight last weekend I posted it again because I was trolling … or returning the favour you could say.”
