Dricus Du Plessis has silenced all the doubters by winning his Rematch with Sean Strickland on UFC 312. As a result, he has received a seemingly backhanded praise from former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka.
'Stillknocks' made the score on 2-0 against 'Tarzan' in a crooked affair in Sydney, Australia. Fan Sentiment for the contest was relatively low, with many comments that Strickland's lack of adjustment of the first fight on UFC was 297 underwhelming. As far as Du Plessis is concerned, he rearranged the nose of Strickland in the fourth round and hit his enemy pillar to post the entire fight, so it was not because of a lack of trying.
Whether Strickland had an off-day or Du Plessis was levels upstairs, there is still a strange praise from fan-favorite light heavyweight Jiri Prochazka.

Jiri Prochazka sends congratulations to Dricus du Plessis while criticizing his fighting style
After the fight, Prochazka praises Du Plessis about the implementation, but not before he dropped an informal criticism of his style.
“Congratulations Dricus du Plessis,” wrote Procazka. “No technology, no rhythm but 200 percent activity and pressure, especially as a champion, that was something inspiring.”

Perhaps Prochazka may mean good, because 'BJP' has made a unique fighting style that works to eradicate all telegraphic movements. PrOCHAZKA uses various strange training methods to reach a fighting style in which he enters a current state, does not telegraph and fights off-rhythm.
Could fight Jiri Prochazka at UFC Middleweight
PrOCHAZKA vs. Du Plessis could happen in the future, where Prochazka registered his interest to go to the middleweight. The 'Czech Samurai' has been an eternal slightly heavyweight, but fought as high as a heavyweight during its 12-fighter tint in Rizin. In the run -up to UFC 311, Prochazka accidentally cut too much weight in the sauna, making fans believe that he could easily cut 185.
