Dricus du Plessis is preparing to launch his comeback tour.
“We need to fix some things, obviously, and I spent time now doing that,” Du Plessis told Fight Forecast. “But like I said, I’ll be ready for April. I would love to be on that April card, the Miami card. There’s no opponent yet, but I’m ready to go again and get my belt back. I’d of course love it to be Khamzat and redeem that loss but for me right now, the next fight is the most important fight of my life.”
“Fighting Khamzat again is of course what I’m after, am I expecting any surprises, no,” Du Plessis added. “There’s not going to be any surprises, that’s the way he’s gonna fight and if he tries anything different it will be a terrible night (for him). He did what he had to do to win the belt, and we can’t hate on him for that. Now it’s my responsibility to go and fix that, to stop him from doing that again and getting him to fight my fight.”
With UFC 327 less than two months away, you can expect a decision on this sooner, rather than later.
