Despite the defeat to Chimaev, Du Plessis is still rated as one of the best in his category in the UFC and also one of the richest. The South African fighter took to his social media account to flaunt a Mercedes-AMG G-Class in his recent Instagram post.

"Damn, it’s always good to roll up with @mercedesbenzsa," the former UFC middleweight champion captioned his post on Instagram.

Du Plessis’ lavish purchase has sparked plenty of reactions among fans, with some praising him for enjoying the rewards of his hard-fought career, while others see it as a bold statement of confidence ahead of his next UFC chapter.
