Former UFC fighter Darren Till has taken a shot at Israel Adesanya for claiming that his rival Dricus du Plessis is privileged.

Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis

This weekend, Dricus du Plessis will defend his UFC middleweight championship against Israel Adesanya. In the eyes of many, this is set to be the toughest test of his career thus far. As we know, the two have also been involved in a bitter feud for quite some time now.

Recently, Adesanya made quite a startling remark regarding the champion.

“He’ll never understand that because he lives behind the f*cking gates of his privileged life in South Africa, and he’s able to do that there. So someone like Francis, who had to cross the desert to go overseas to go train – if you know Francis’ story, you can’t call him not a real African champion because he didn’t train in Africa. Like, bro – are you f*cking kidding? The guy got sent back out to the desert six, seven times to go die, and he survived.”

The aforementioned Darren Till decided to weigh in on the matter.

Till questions Adesanya

“I think Izzy is talking way 2 much about like personal lives…
Use are both gonna fight in the octagon and it’s not gonna really matter all of this the best man is gonna win…
Basically. Shut the fuck up Izzy [shrug emoji].”

For those who remember, Till competed against du Plessis and lost to him in his final UFC appearance. He also teased a showdown with Adesanya on multiple occasions, but it never quite came to fruition.
