    Nice video. I watched a Du Plessis interview where he clarified that he sustained his foot injury near the end of his training camp. He got medical attention and determined he would still fight Whitaker as he had done enough prep before getting injured. The first kick thrown in that fight was to test his foot. With the adrenalin he was confident to get through the fight. After the win he declined the Izzy fight because he reasoned it was not wise to commence a training camp until that ankle injury was sorted out.

    Real question is how good is Strickland actually? Beat mid competition and had close fight with cannonier. Was adesanya totally off that night?
    If you asked me before that fight, I'd say Strickland has no chance against du plessis. Right now, not so sure. Going to depend on who turns up on the night

    • @Redsauce101
