Dricus du Plessis has beaten Israel Adesanya and retained his UFC Middleweight Championship after a beating his chanllenger by submission in round 4.
The Nigerian was held in a tight corner, and was forced to tap out(submit).
Though Adesanya put up a good fight. He looked sharp at times. But he struggled with du Plessis scrappy striking. His defence was poor. He kept leaving his chin in the air, which led to his defeat as he got caught with overhand punches, got taken down and submitted.
It is indeed a sad morning for Nigerian supporters and rapper Drake who lost a whooping $450,000.
Alex Pereira is likely to face Dricus du Plessis after his win over Israel Adesanya
