Dricus Du Plessis reveals his octagon mindset ahead of UFC 312

Dricus Du Plessis will lock horns with Sean Strickland in a rematch, in the main event of UFC 312. When the two middleweights last squared off at UFC 297, 'Stillknocks' dethroned Strickland via a razor-close split decision. Ahead of the rematch, 'Tarzan' wanted to set up a "stand and bang pact," which was dismissed by the South African.

Du Plessis has now revealed his mindset every time he gets inside the octagon. In a recent interview with Mark Bouris, 'Stillknocks' said:

"I am fighting a guy in front of millions of people that wants to kill me and I want to kill him. That's all the motivation you need. I’m pretty hyped up when I get out there...When I go in there, if there’s no ref, the ref doesn’t stop it, I’m not stopping. I can be sitting on you for ten minutes bashing your face in. If the ref doesn’t say stop I’m not stopping."

He added:

"And that is the question that me as a modern-day gladiator has to ask myself. Am I still willing to die? Absolutely, that’s easy. Are you willing to kill a man in front of his family? Yes, I am. And that’s why I’m the world champion because I say yes to that question every single time. But that’s Dricus 'Stillknocks' Du Plessis."
