Dricus Du Plessis knows who is to fight Israel Adesanya
Speaking with collective media after his victory over UFC 312, Du Plessis noticed whom Sean Strickland should fight. His number 1 choice was a rematch with Adesanya. However, fans can disagree because Rematches have encouraged the middleweight division.
Viable contenders in Caio Borralho and Nassourdine Imavov promise to blow up life in a division that has been stagnating for a while. Borralho drives a 16-Fight-winning series and can fight against Adesanya for a no. 1 competition. Imavov could wait for a middleweight title shot or strengthen its place by taking revenge in a rematch with strickland.
As an alternative, Adesanya and Strickland could sit there, and Borralho and Imavov fight for the number 1 place while Khamzat Chimaev fights against Du Plessis. Du Plessis believes that he has defeated Chimaev in his own game.
