Dricus Du Plessis defied expectations by not only defeating Robert Whittaker but doing so with apparent ease. Whittaker, previously regarded as the Max Holloway of the Middleweight division, had consistently repelled all potential title contenders in the division’s upper echelon.

However, Du Plessis emerged as the victor, swiftly dispatching Whittaker with a knockout in the second round of their intense battle then hopped over the fence to introduce himself to former President Donald Trump. The secret service let the fighter shake hands with FPOTUS with no issues.

Du Plessis’s triumph was nothing short of extraordinary, as he shattered the established hierarchy within the Middleweight division. Whittaker’s seemingly invincible status came to an abrupt end when faced with the relentless assault of Du Plessis.
