No one responds to adversity any better the Dricus Du Plessis. In fact, the man seems to feed off of it.
headliner on Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth Australia. Adesanya , who had never before been submitted, raised the white flag of surrender 3:36 into Round 4.
Du Plessis waded through considerable difficulty before he arrived at the finish line. Adesanya zeroed in on his body with hooks from both hands and well-timed kicks, attacked his legs when the mood arose and pieced together stirring combinations to the head. Du Plessis refused to go away. The Team CIT rep executed multiple takedowns—he threatened Adesanya’s neck in the first round in a harbinger of what was in store—and connected with thudding power punches to the head.
Gamrot initially held his own in the standup exchanges and even dropped “The Hangman” to a knee with a counter overhand right in the first round. He took top position and unleashed a hellacious barrage of ground-and-pound, but it was not enough to break Hooker . From there, momentum shifted back and forth.
Prates picked his spots and did so with surgical precision. He chipped away at Li’s defenses across the first five minutes, attacked his base with low kicks and buckled his knees with clean punches to the head more than once. Prates stuck to a methodical approach in the middle stanza, eventually sitting down the Kill Cliff Fight Club rep with a blistering one-two. The Brazilian gave chase, landed virtually every punch he threw and wiped out Li with one final left hook.
