Dricus du Plessis talks "anxiety" fighting Sean Strickland ahead of UFC 312 rematch
Dricus du Plessis recently addressed his upcoming rematch with Sean Strickland and explained how he knows what to expect from 'Tarzan' this time around. The two will throw down for the middleweight title at UFC 312 in February in Sydney, Australia.
During an appearance on Breakfast with Martin Bester, du Plessis opened up about his upcoming fight and explained how he's prepared to face Strickland now that he knows what to expect. He said:
"When I'm standing in the octagon, the biggest almost, not fear, the biggest anxiety you feel is how hard does this guy punch? How fast is he? Is he going to catch me with one shot and it's over. You've never felt this personal physically, so you don't know how hard he hits. Now almost the element of surprise is gone, which makes it a lot easier not to play it safe."
du Plessis continued:
"In that fight [against Strickland], my first-ever title fight in the UFC, fighting for a world title, there's a lot of pressure coming with that. So, in the beginning, you're kind of playing it safe feeling the guy out. This time around, there's going to be a feeling-out process, but I think it's going to be a lot more action a lot quicker."
