UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis has opened up about the secret behind his successful run in recent fights.
There has been ongoing speculation about a potential fight between du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev at the next UFC event, but those rumours were put to rest by a recent update shared by the South African fighter himself.

Rumours also circulated that du Plessis was injured and could miss out on the proposed bout against Chimaev at UFC 317, but the 31-year-old has since dismissed the injury claims and clarified that no official agreement was signed for him to appear at the next event.
