Celebrating Dricus du Plessis on his birthday

Du Plessis marks his 32nd birthday today (January 14, 2026) as one of the most accomplished and compelling figures in modern mixed martial arts all over the world.

Born in South Africa, he has steadily built a reputation as an elite competitor in the combat sports community and through a blend of physical strength, relentless pressure, and a very different fighting style that has made him successful in his weight category among his peers.

He defeated some of the best middleweight fighters. The likes of Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland can attest to how strong and difficult it is to face the South African, who is also popularly known as 'Stillknocks'.

At 32, du Plessis finds himself in the prime years of his professional career, combining experience with peak athletic performance. He would hope to reclaim his middleweight title this year, but will need to up his game if the title is still in the hands of Khamzat Chimaev.
