The racially charged alternate between Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis is getting ugly by the day, however the two can have time to settle their discord by September.
UFC President Dana White has but to say something in regards to the dream battle between the “two Africans,” however former Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier believes the showdown will occur finally.
“It’s an ugly, ugly thing. It is going to make for a crazy fight that we don’t have to wait long for, it’s going to happen in Australia in nine weeks,” Cormier stated throughout a sit down with Ben Askren on his personal YouTube channel.

“Dricus took no damage, so they’re going to fight in September. It literally is going to happen very quickly, and because of that, we get to have some resolution to it.”
Stylebender has extra to lose within the battle
The rift between Adesanya and Du Plessis is rooted within the query of who’s the true African. Both events accuse one another of dismissing one’s ethnicity.
Stylebender threw loads of shades and trash speak over the previous few days, and for Cormier, he’s the extra aggressive one.
Therefore, this recreation is his to lose.
If Izzy can win, it will really feel nice for him. But if he loses, boy, may you think about if he loses to Dricus?” Cormier requested.
“That’s the one guy he doesn’t want to lose to. If he loses that, it’s not good. You can’t lose to him! You’re in a situation now where you can’t lose!”
