"Not that serious": Du Plessis trolls Adesanya for crying at press conference

Briefly News previously reported that Israel Adesanya will have a long day on social media today after he was seen in tears at the press conference ahead of his title fight against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 305.

The two Africans will clash in a title fight in the middleweight division on Saturday evening, and things got personal between them during the press conference.

Du Plessis trains and fights out of South Africa while Adesanya, despite being born in Nigeria, relocated to New Zealand as a child, which made his opponent taunt him that he grew up rich and asked if he would come to the fight with his servants.
