Dricus Du Plessis ’ coach is game for Alex Pereira next – but at light heavyweight. Middleweight champion Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) notched his first title defense when he submitted Israel Adesanya in Round 4 of their UFC 305 headliner Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. Light heavyweight champion Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) stated that he’d drop back down to middleweight one more time to challenge Du Plessis, but head coach Morne Visser would rather Du Plessis move up for a shot at dual-champion status.
