Dricus du Plessis slammed as “f**king b**ch a**” by Ghanaian UFC fighter for past comments about being an African champion

Dricus du Plessis was recently slammed by a UFC fighter for his comments about wanting to be the first "real African UFC champion". 'Stillknocks' entered the promotion when Israel Adesanya, Kamaru Usman, and Francis Ngannou all held titles, but he was swift to point out that none of them lived in Africa.

Du Plessis' comments FC did not sit well with Adesanya, and the pair will now have the chance to settle their beef. They are scheduled to headline UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, on 17 Aug.

Ahead of UFC Denver (13 June), Abdul Razak Alhassan, who will face Cody Brundage on the card, appeared in front of the media. Alhassan hails from Ghana and was asked for his thoughts on the du Plessis-Adesanya beef, saying this:

"I respect the things [du Plessis] has done in MMA. But he's a f**king b*tch. He's a f**king a**hole for that word that he used. If he is a f**king real African, and he lived in Africa, he would have never used that f**king word. He's a f**king b*tch a** to use that word."

He continued:

"Because in Africa, if he was raised with the poor people in Africa the way I was raised... If we get the opportunity to leave that [place], I'm poor, if I can go to America to make a better life for myself, I will cut off my f**king leg to go."

Dricus du Plessis believes Israel Adesanya was ready to retire after Alex Pereira KO win

Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira share one of the most incredible combat sports rivalries of all time.

The pair have clashed four times over two different fighting disciplines, with 'Poatan' holding a 3-1 aggregate lead. However, Adesanya appears to have had the last laugh after knocking out his career foe in their most recent clash at UFC 287.

'The Last Stylebender' is currently preparing for his return to fighting, where he will take on Dricus du Plessis at UFC 305. Ahead of the clash, 'Stillknocks' stated that his opponent is questioning his desire to continue fighting.

He said this:

"His biggest achievement... was beating Alex Pereira. He had this nemisis who'd beaten him multiple times. After that fight he was ready to call it quits. That's what I saw in his eyes as well. Trying to convince me, but more himself, that he still wants to do this."
