At a recent UFC press conference middleweight rivals Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis shook hands on fighting each other to death if necessary in the main event at Saturday’s UFC 297.
“Real talk you guys, me and Dricus, we’re going to try to fucking kill each other for you guys,” Strickland said. “Dricus, can I get an agreement to the fucking death? To the fucking death! Goddamn respect him for that.”
Strickland, who brawled with du Plessis in the crowd at UFC 296 just a month back, now seemed to have changed his mind about his South African opponent.
“Here’s the thing about Dricus, he ain’t fucking Izzy — Dricus likes to fight,” Strickland said. “He likes to fight and he’s a hell of a fight. Do you know what that means? We’re going to be dick to dick, nipple to nipple in that range fucking fighting.”
