MIAMI – UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya wants to punish Dricus Du Plessis for his recent words. Du Plessis claimed he and teammate Cameron Saaimon were the only true African UFC fighters. He also took a shot at Nigeria-born Adesanya (24-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC) and Kamaru Usman, who left their home countries at an early age and live elsewhere. Since he was born, raised and still resides in Africa, Du Plessis (19-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) said he would be the first true African UFC champion if he wins the belt.
