Following his victory over Sean Strickland, Dricus Du Plessis expressed interest in challenging reigning middleweight champion Alex Pereira, although he acknowledges that he must first face Khamzat Chimaev, the top contender. Du Plessis praised Pereira's achievements despite coming from another sport and aims to prove himself further. With a current winning streak of nine in the UFC, Du Plessis is on his way to building a legacy, although his performance was met with skepticism from Chimaev, who criticized the fight's outcome.
I have the world of respect for Alex Pereira. I think he's the world's pound-for-pound best. I want to share the Octagon with that man.
Du Plessis realizes there's a natural order to things, and that means clearing out the remaining challenges in his own division.
