\u201cThe Khamzat rematch is ridiculous, it doesn\u2019t make any sense,\u201d Du Plessis told Submission Radio<\/a>. \u201cIf they do it, it\u2019s ridiculous. It will be crazy, but let them do what they need to do. I\u2019ll just fight my way back. After my performance, let my performance speak. That\u2019s the thing. Right now, I don\u2019t have anything to say. I can\u2019t really say anything because I got beaten in my last fight. You can\u2019t really say too much, but the fight\u2019s five days away. I\u2019ll do my talking there, and I\u2019ll prove once again why I am the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would I be scared to fight him? Have you seen his last performance? He can go on his knees and be thankful that he wasn\u2019t in there with me,\u201d Du Plessis said about Allen\u2019s recent win over Edmen Shahbazyan<\/a>. \u201cThat was horrible. I would sleep that man. He\u2019s in the Top 5 by a massive fluke. He\u2019s on a three-fight winning streak, that\u2019s the longest of his career by far. That\u2019s not where I\u2019m headed. I mean, if he gets another big win, I\u2019ll be champion by then again, I hope he makes it to that so we can we can do that. I would love to. I would love to, you know, give him what he really wants. I would love that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe Khamzat rematch is ridiculous, it doesn\u2019t make any sense,\u201d Du Plessis told Submission Radio. \u201cIf they do…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":800032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,85,266293,1396,179146,1647],"class_list":["post-800031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-328","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-upcoming-ufc-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=800031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/800032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=800031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=800031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=800031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
