Cultural Clash Ignites Tensions
Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya have been engaged in a war of words leading up to UFC 305, with Du Plessis asserting his position as the first “real” African champion. This claim has been a contentious point for Adesanya, who has consistently challenged Du Plessis’ statements. The tension reached a boiling point during the press conference when Adesanya, discussing his post-fight plans, mentioned traveling with the belt to Nigeria, South Africa, and New Zealand.
Provocative Comment Hits a Nerve
Du Plessis seized the moment to make a cutting remark, asking if Adesanya would be "taking the servants" with him on his travels. The comment struck a deep nerve with Adesanya, who passionately fired back, detailing the hardships his family endured. “You don’t know anything about my story. Shut the f--- up,” Adesanya retorted, visibly emotional. “I do this for the people I love, and I will fight for you forever. I am a f---ing human being. I am a man; I can cry and whoop your ass at the same time.”
Adesanya Walks Off in Tears
The exchange, which also touched on Du Plessis’ perceived disrespect during an Indigenous Australian ceremony, left Adesanya visibly shaken. After delivering an emotional response, Adesanya banged the desk and left the stage in tears. He later returned for a tense faceoff with Du Plessis, underscoring the deep animosity between the two.
High Stakes for UFC 305
Sunday’s fight will be Du Plessis’ first title defense since winning the middleweight belt earlier this year. For Adesanya, this bout marks his return to the Octagon after nearly 12 months. If he wins, Adesanya will join Randy Couture as one of only two fighters in UFC history to become a three-time champion.
With personal and cultural stakes on the line, UFC 305 is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally charged events of the year.
