The UFC middleweight title rematch between Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis will take place this weekend. The fight will take place in Sydney, which will serve as a middle ground for both the superstars. After losing the first time, ‘Tarzan’ has promised to take his revenge against the champion. 

Going into the fight, Strickland has promised to give fans a war that they will remember for months. The challenger believed he has won the first encounter and will achieve the same this time as well. DDP, however, is ready to put his life on the line and go for the kill if needed to protect his glory. 

If the ref doesn’t stop. I’m not stopping. Am I willing to die?… Absolutely that’s easy. It’s are you willing to kill a man in front of his family. Yes I am… and that’s why I’m world champ because I say yes every single time.

Dricus Du Plessis‘s interview has since gone viral and has captured the attention of many fans. With such strong emotions, it has helped to create more hype for the match-up with just a few days remaining. While DDP is the fan favorite to win, it won’t be surprising to see an upset at UFC 312.

Initially, Strickland wanted DDP to sign a no-wrestling pact and fight like men. However, the champion doesn’t think the American has that attitude towards fighting. In a recent interview, he questioned the whole narrative about Strickland being an entertaining fighter.

Strickland, in his last fight, defeated Paulo Costa to bounce back from the previous loss. However, it was an underwhelming performance. Many fans and experts are now doubtful about whether the fighter can bring the same energy as his trash-talking. In a recent interview, Strickland’s online rival, Belal Muhammad gave his prediction for the fight, while choosing DDP to win. 

Sean Strickland sucks. I think all he does is teep-kick you. So, I think Dricus is gonna have a better game plan. He’s gonna make it a lot easier this time.
