“I really don’t think Alex Pereira should go down to 185 pounds. If he wants to, great, perfect... We saw Izzy (Israel adesanya) knocking this guy out in the first round. I felt Izzy's punching power tonight and if Izzy knocks you out like that, you don't want to be there with me,” said Du Plessis at a press conference after the UFC 305.
Du Plessis' statement comes after Poatan, current light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg), announced on his social networks that he intends to return to the middleweight division, where he was once champion. The Brazilian has a planned belt defense against Khalil rountree No. UFC 307.
The possibility of a fight between Du Plessis and Poatan has MMA fans ecstatic. However, it is still uncertain whether the fight will take place, as Alex still has commitments in the light heavyweight division.
