Israel Adesanya gives his prediction for Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland rematch
Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya gave his prediction for the upcoming title fight between Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland. Adesanya faced both du Plessis and Strickland in title fights and came up short against both men. Speaking on his YouTube channel FREESTYLEBENDER, Adesanya said:
"To be honest, it's gonna be Dricus [du Plessis] doing what he does and Sean Strickland might wrestle better, but he's not going to initiate it. If he can have his defense on point, he might be able to beat Dricus, but I think Dricus is just too tough..."
He added:
"I think Dricus is going to win, but he's going to do it the way he does - which is stubborn and take him down and try to beat Strickland up."
