Dricus du Plessis criticizes Sean Strickland’s fighting style ahead of UFC 312
Dricus du Plessis has taken aim at Sean Strickland’s fighting style ahead of their rematch at UFC 312. The reigning middleweight champion criticized Strickland for his lack of excitement in the octagon, claiming his performances fail to entertain fans.
Speaking to Fox Sports Australia, du Plessis remarked:
"Nothing's changed, he looked boring like every other fight, walking forward jabbing and teeping, it wasn't an exciting fight... It wasn't a bad performance, it was the most normal performance from him ever."
Du Plessis, who edged out Strickland via split decision at UFC 297, believes Strickland’s approach lacks flair compared to his own aggressive and dynamic style.
Reflecting on their first bout, du Plessis added:
"In our fight, I remember there was a stage in the fight where I was walking forward, but he just kept moving away and I thought to myself, 'I'm going to stand here, maybe he gets the confidence to walk forward and we can punch it out.' And he just dropped his hands a little and said, 'Cool.' He has no problem with the crowd booing his fighting style."
