After defending his title twice, UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis is waiting for his next call for the title defense. As per expectations, he will be against Khamzat Chimaev later this year. Though earlier, it was reported that the champ was injured and wouldn’t be fighting, the South African clarified that all the injury rumors were fake and that he was just waiting to get a date from the UFC. Amid all this, Dricus du Plessis didn’t forget what Bo Nickal said about him before getting his first loss at UFC Des Moines.
Dricus du Plessis is happy after seeing Bo Nickal on the losing side, as per the reigning middleweight champ, Bo Nickal said more than what he can digest, and the loss made the UFC prospect humble and admire the fighters who are ahead of him in the rankings.
I have no problem with Bo Nickal’s hype. What I do have a problem with was: he was talking about people who have done what he has never done. He became a three-time NCAA champion if I’m not mistaken. Well, this is not wrestling, my good man, and he found that out the hard way. I think he thought he was going to walk through Reinier, and I thought Reinier had a beautiful game plan.”
Dricus said on Sias du Plessis show
The champ didn’t stop there and undermining all the opponents Bo Nickal fought in the past and registering win over them he said that he fought nobody yet to talk trash about others.
“You start talking when you get there. He’s fought nobodies in terms of being able to talk, and then going and saying, ‘The championship fight was s—t; these guys can’t wrestle, that’s not impressive, that win.’ Humble pie does wonderful things for a man, and I think he got served a full pie.”
