The UFC Middleweight Champion is not interested in closing deals with the latest threat for its title line.
Dricus du Plessis vs Sean Strickland 2 takes place at UFC 312 in Sydney, Australia on 8 February.
Strickland recently suggested a pact that would see him and the King of 185 pounds simply stopped when they rematch it next month.
“Listen Dutch, I need you to be to be. ** Save as men, “he said.
“I know you like to struggle, and you like to choke people and do what G ** S *** guy … but I will make a pact with you; You make a pact with me, that we get up like F ****** men and we arrange this s *** as men. “

Dricus Du Plessis rejects the pact and impresses fans
Du Plessis closed Strickland's men's overall bowl in the most epic way that is conceivable.
“There are no pacts between lions and men,” the champion replied.
UFC fans were quick to praise du Plessis to use a quote from the 2004 film to restore Strickland.
“Savage answer,” tweeted a fan. While someone else noticed: “Cold off.”
“One of my favorite rules,” someone else added.
“That line goes fast as f ***,” said a fourth person.
“Okay, this is a great answer,” admitted another UFC.
“That is probably the best possible answer,” kept a fan full.

The sharp Tongs South African had Strickland in tears before they first fought at UFC 297 in January.
Du Plessis also let Israel Adesanya cry before he tapped him when she fought at UFC 305 in August 2024.
So, although his social media game is good, he really comes to life when he has a microphone in his hand.
Dricus Du Plessis called by Islam Makhachev
Islam Makhachev defeated Renato Moicano on UFC 311 before giving a callout that shocked the MMA world.
After his first round entry last weekend, the best hunter of the UFC's Pond-Voor-Pond focused his attention on Du Plessis while supporting the man who rules the 185 pound division.
“I can be three division (champion),” said Makhachev at the UFC 311 Post-Fight Press Conference on Saturday evening.
“Just give me the chance, that's it. I will fight with (Dricus) du Plessis, give me the chance, I will also fight against him. I swear that if Dana White sends me the contract, I will also fight him. '
The Makhchev coach has since predicted that he would do 'fantastic' in a fight with Du Plessis. Khamzat Chimaev has, however, expressed doubts about the ability of his Russian countryman to compete against men who are naturally heavier than he is.
Whatever happens, it seems very unlikely that UFC boss Dana White du Plessis vs Makhachev will make at any time as soon as Chimaev is the next one in line for a middleweight title shot after stitching Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 in October.
Only the time will tell who Makhachev will be linked after the top candidate Arman Tsarukyan was bumped at the back of the queue after he had withdrawn from UFC 311 at the last minute.
