Du Persis and Strickland Trade Insocruits at UFC 312 Pre-Fight Press Conference
The official weightings only arrived 24 hours after what a rather entertaining, if not somewhat collapse, UFC 312 pre-Fight press conference was.
While the two men involved in the main event of the evening believe that there is mutual respect for each other's skills, after their razor-close first fight in 2024, she did not stop exchanging verbal strokes.
“Let me tell you something about the Dutchman, which is a cool nickname,” Strickland began.
“This man fights like AR – on a short bus and Hey, Dricus, I respect you for that because you are fighting as – – maniac! But I won that fight and I will win this fight, so f— saddle and let's get it done! “
The South African fight, known as one of the best trash bakers in the game, responded in kind: “Yes, I fight like someone in the short bus, but you look like the driver … you are not allowed In the neighborhood of children with that look more. “
A bitter rivalry. An intense rematch. It all goes live from Australia on Saturday 8 February.
