"Thiiisss ni**a" - Israel Adesanya posts video of Dricus Du Plessis cheering aggressively with Novak Djokovic, Jason Momoa, and Taika Watiti watching

Former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is not on the best terms with No.2 ranked contender Dricus Du Plessis, with the two having clashed verbally multiple times earlier.

Adesanya recently posted a video of Du Plessis on X at a Rugby World Cup game with the accompanying caption that seemed to ridicule the latter's exuberant celebrations with a friend around high-profile celebrities and athletes.

The video shows Du Plessis beating his chest, high-fiving, and embracing his friend, who is wearing matching t-shirts in support of the South African national rugby union team and jumping up in raucous celebration. The clip also zooms in on tennis icon Novak Djokovic staring with an amused look.

Also present in the stands in Dricus Du Plessis' vicinity are Hollywood star Jason Momoa and filmmaker Taika Watiti. Du Plessis is seen offering the A-list actors some beer, and while Aquaman-lead Jason Momoa accepted a glass, Taika Watiti graciously declined with a thumbs up.

Adesanya also added a message to his New Zealand compatriot, Taika Watiti.

"I'll handle him later Tai"

The Rugby World Cup grand finale saw Adesanya and Du Plessis' countries clash as Pool A and Pool B runners-up, New Zealand and South Africa met at the final stage. South Africa edged out New Zealand 12-11 in a tight game at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
