In the UFC, many champions have had iconic coaches backing them, from Javier Mendez to Dove Lovell. Some are known for their motivational speeches, while others are famous for churning out champions. But Dricus Du Plessis’s situation is a bit different. His infamous kiss with his coach, Morne Visser, has been one of the hottest topics. So, what actually went down, and when did it happen?
There’s no doubt Du Plessis has shocked everyone in the UFC, making him the most talked-about fighter. But it’s his relationship with his coach that’s really captured much more attention. While his fight against Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 was headline-worthy, it was the moment after the fight—when Du Plessis kissed his coach—that really set the internet on fire.
If fans missed it, Du Plessis took down ‘Bobby Knuckles’ with a TKO in round two. But the highlight was when he celebrated by giving his coach, Visser, a kiss on the mouth, and it went viral. However, Du Plessis isn’t the only South African fighter who has made headlines for kissing his coach. Cameron Saaiman was also seen doing the same, but he clarified that it is a way of celebrating in African culture.
Is Dricus Du Plessis Dating Anyone?
Despite all the rumors, the fact remains that Du Plessis has been in a relationship. During the Sean Strickland fight camp at UFC 297, it was revealed in the ‘Still Knocks series that he is dating Vasti Spiller. Prior to Spiller, who is also a boxing coach, Du Plessis was linked with South African reality TV star and model Nastassja Ras.
Meanwhile, there is no confirmation on whether Du Plessis and Spiller are married or have kids. However, reports on the internet suggest that he is not yet married and has no kids. Well, he is frequently seen with Spiller though.
