Dricus du Plessis is brimming with confidence ahead of his showdown with Sean Strickland at UFC 312. ‘Stillknocks’ believes he is in peak condition and will deliver a standout display in the octagon.
The rematch between du Plessis and Strickland is highly anticipated after their initial encounter at UFC 297 last year, which saw the former secure a split decision victory to claim the middleweight title. Since then, du Plessis has successfully defended his title against Israel Adesanya, while Strickland defeated Paulo Costa to return to title contention.
In a recent episode of the UFC’s ‘Embedded’ series in the lead-up to the pay-per-view in Sydney, Australia, du Plessis said:
“I’m feeling like a racehorse ready to go.”
Previewing the bout, the South African said:
“There’s nothing that he can do that’s gonna stop me from getting that belt. This is going to be the best performance of my life… Maybe even the best performance of any middleweight ever.”
