Dricus Du Plessis, the South African powerhouse, recently snatched the middleweight crown. Meanwhile, Pereira has been making waves at light heavyweight. The war of words between these two has escalated since UFC 305. And now, it has reached the point of lying and exposing those lies.
Pereira’s been talking about dropping back down to 185 to challenge Du Plessis. He’s even gone as far as calling the champ “scared.” Now, ‘Stillknocks’ isn’t one to take trash talk lying down. He’s clapped back and bought the heat back to the Brazilian champ
“a scared clown how dare you! Now that’s taking it to far. I’ve already said I’m in to fight either you or @SStricklandMMA. what more do you want or should I tag your translator?” commented Du Plessis via X.
What’s fascinating is the contrast between these two fighters. Dricus Du Plessis is known for his relentless style of continuously moving forward and breaking the fighter down. Alex Pereira on the other hand, is the striking maestro, knocking out people with his ‘touch of death.’ It’s like comparing a bulldozer to a sniper rifle.
Whether they will duke it out in the octagon remains to be seen. No matter where the fight goes, fans will be on the edge of their seats with bated breath. As of yet, they both are cozily in their own divisions. But that can change in a split second.

During a chat with ex-UFC fighter Darren Till on X Spaces, Chimaev let loose. He called Du Plessis a “gay champion.” Dricus Du Plessis, not one to take things lying down, fired back with surgical precision. His response was as sharp as was expected of him:
“You just focus on trying to make it to a fight, any fight!” wrote Du Plessis via X.
Chimaev burst onto the UFC scene like a tornado, fighting every other week. Now, he’s more like a gentle breeze. One fight in two years. And this was what Du Plessis capitalized on, using facts to shut his rival up.
