Israel Adesanya, the reigning Middleweight champion of the UFC, has made his intentions clear ahead of UFC 290, scheduled to take place on July 8, 2023. Adesanya will be closely watching the Middleweight contender bout between Robert Whittaker and Dricus Du Plessis, as the winner will determine Adesanya’s next title challenger.
Adesanya has been targeting a fight with Du Plessis ever since the rising contender made comments about African champions in the UFC. Despite some back-and-forth exchanges regarding their statements, Adesanya believes Du Plessis needs to prove himself against the tough former champion from Australia, Whittaker, who Adesanya defeated to win the title in 2019.
In a recent interview with The MMA Hour, Adesanya expressed his confidence in Du Plessis, stating, “I’m going to manifest [Du Plessis] winning this fight in the first round, and when he does, I’m going to be right there in the cage so he can turn around in September.” Adesanya also dismissed any potential excuses from Whittaker, emphasizing his determination to fight Du Plessis in Sydney in September.
Addressing the controversy surrounding their previous exchanges, Adesanya clarified his stance, saying, “I never questioned his ethnicity. I never said he’s not African.” Adesanya took issue with Du Plessis’ remarks about African heritage, stating, “How the f—k are you going to question me, Francis [Ngannou], and Kamaru [Usman’s] blackness or African-ness? Who the f—k are you?” Adesanya further stressed his own knowledge of his heritage and identity, expressing his desire to educate Du Plessis on the matter.
Looking ahead to the potential fight, Adesanya discussed his previous training experience with Du Plessis, stating, “Funny enough, we’ve trained together before. I whooped his ass.” Adesanya acknowledged Du Plessis’ wrestling skills but remained confident in his ability to outperform him in the Octagon.
While Du Plessis is currently considered the underdog, Adesanya believes in his capabilities and has faith in his own manifesting abilities. He concluded by saying, “It’s going to be first round, Dricus, f—k him (Whittaker) up, somehow, by some magic, some juju. We’ll make it happen. Really, I’ll pray on this and make it happen.”
UFC 293 is scheduled to take place in Australia on September 10, 2023. The hope is that the winner of the Whittaker vs. Du Plessis bout will be ready to face Adesanya in a highly anticipated showdown.
With Adesanya’s strong determination and unwavering confidence, the Middleweight division is in for an exciting future, as the champion continues to make his mark in the UFC.
