The 30-year-old former kickboxing champion has said he is the first fighter who lives and trains in Africa to hold a UFC belt, which has upset Adesanya. Adesanya is 2-2 in his last four fights.

He took almost a year off from action and now looks to become a three-time middleweight champion. The year off did help Adesanya heal physically and mentally. du Plessis believes the best of Adesanya is behind him as he looks to defend gold for the first time. “It comes down to seeing the hunger, seeing the fire in someone’s eyes, and I don’t see that,” Du Plessis told mainevent via MMA Fighting. “I can’t remember if he explicitly said he’s retiring, but he said he’s taking off for a couple of months. I don’t remember if he said he was retiring, but it almost gave off that, and everybody would have understood that. “He did what he had to do in the sport, and he has reached the pinnacle of what he’s gonna reach in his career when it comes to the winning streak. He’s never gonna have that streak again. Defending the belt as many times as he did. He doesn’t have the time or anything to beat that, so what is he doing this for?”
