We’re at the point now where it’s hard not to listen when he makes some kind of prediction. Dricus du Plessis is easily one of the most intriguing figures in mixed martial arts today, and it’ll be really interesting to see how he approaches his showdown with Strickland this time around. If he wins, then he’s already starting to build the kind of legacy that could eventually turn him into one of the best UFC middleweights of all time.

Either way, he’s got us all on the edge of our seats, and given that he’s just 30 years of age, we’d say he still has a lot left in the tank.
