Combat Profile

Dricus du Plessis is a pressure fighter known for his incredible cardio and heavy-handed striking that breaks opponents' will. Representing South Africa and training at CIT, he brings a unique brawling style that mixes wild hooks with solid wrestling fundamentals. His victory over Sean Strickland proved that his chin is durable enough to walk through fire to land his own fight-ending shots.

Tactical Advantage

He exploits opponents who cannot match his output or lack the one-shot knockout power to deter his forward marching. Du Plessis overwhelms defenses by constantly changing levels and mixing in takedowns to keep his foes guessing and off-balance. Fighters with lesser gas tanks often fade as the fight goes deep, allowing him to pour on the offense in the championship rounds.
