Dricus Du Plessis Declares War Backing Adesanya, Targeting Pereira, and Promising Back-to-Back Nightmares for ‘Poatan’

Dricus Du Plessis is making waves; he fully supports Israel Adesanya in taking down Alex Pereira again. But he’s not stopping there. The South African warrior confidently declares he’ll be the one to hand Pereira his next crushing defeat! Is this a serious warning to the UFC’s new light heavyweight champion?

Du Plessis: “I Want to See Adesanya Smash Pereira Again!”

Never one to hold back, Dricus Du Plessis openly admitted that he wants to see Israel Adesanya defeat Alex Pereira if the two ever meet again inside the Octagon. Du Plessis firmly believes Adesanya has already exposed Pereira’s weaknesses at UFC 287 and can absolutely do it again.

“I believe Adesanya can take him out again. That’s what I want to see.” Du Plessis stated confidently.

This statement sent shockwaves through the MMA world. By saying this, Du Plessis not only undermines Pereira’s reign but also openly supports his own former rival! It’s a move that few expected, but it proves one thing—Du Plessis has his sights locked on Pereira!

Du Plessis: “If Adesanya Doesn’t Finish Pereira, I Will!”

But if Israel Adesanya doesn’t get the job done, then Dricus Du Plessis will take matters into his own hands. The South African juggernaut is convinced he will be the one to destroy Alex Pereira, turning the Brazilian knockout artist into a back-to-back loser if they ever square off.

“Pereira may be dangerous, but I know exactly how to break him.”

And he’s not just talking! Du Plessis is riding a hot winning streak, having dismantled Sean Strickland to claim the middleweight title. If he decides to move up a division, a blockbuster showdown with Alex Pereira would be nothing short of an absolute war!

A collision course: Pereira vs. Du Plessis?

If this fight happens, Alex Pereira will face his toughest nightmare yet. Dricus Du Plessis is not just another striker—he’s an aggressive, relentless brawler with a dangerous mix of power, pressure, and unpredictability. He won’t just stand there and trade punches with Pereira. He’ll drag him into deep waters, suffocate him, and leave him broken.

“I’m the most complete fighter Pereira has ever faced!” Du Plessis declared with pure confidence.

So what happens if these two gladiators clash? Will Pereira stand his ground and cement his legacy—or will Du Plessis shatter the Brazilian powerhouse and claim UFC gold in a second weight class?

Du Plessis’ Warning: “Pereira Has Never Faced Someone Like Me!”

Dricus Du Plessis isn’t just talking—he’s declaring war. The South African powerhouse believes Pereira has never fought a relentless, all-out savage like him. Unlike Adesanya, who relies on finesse, Du Plessis is a bulldozer, ready to drag Pereira into a brutal war where survival is impossible.

“I won’t dance around like Adesanya—I’ll break him, round by round, until he has nothing left!”

If this fight happens, expect a cage-shaking collision, where only one man will walk out standing. And according to Du Plessis, that man will be him!
