UFC middleweight contender, Dricus Du Plessis continues to poke fun at Israel Adesanya over his nationality.
Reigning 185lb UFC champion, Adesnanya has recently taken a real personal disliking to surging contender, Du Plessis. The dispute has taken an uncomfortable and racial turn following comments made by Du Plessis, stating that he wanted to be the first African champion in the UFC.
While the UFC has had several African born champions – Francis Ngannnou, Kamaru Usman and Adesanya, all three of which live and train outside the continent, either in America or New Zealand and this seems to be where the confusion has begun.
