Dricus Du Plessis disagrees with Dana White ’s recent criticism towards him. Du Plessis was slated to challenge for the middleweight title at UFC 293, but couldn’t make it to the fight due to an injured foot. White wasn’t pleased with Du Plessis turning down the short-notice turnaround after he knocked out Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 in July. Sean Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) got the call instead, and did the unthinkable by dethroning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) by unanimous decision in this past Saturday’s UFC 293 headliner at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Du Plessis thinks he should be next, and wants people to give him the benefit of the doubt for not fighting at UFC 293
