News Dricus du Plessis Signed To The UFC Set to Fight Markus Perez

[Senbonzakura]

He's about as African as Chimaev is Swedish

There are some decent platforms in Africa like EFC and ARES and imho also a few good talents that get overlooked.
Simon Biyong is another good prospect from the region.
Years ago there was a strong Angolan fighter in EFC but I think he never fought in UFC

Also don't forget Igeu Kabesa the EFC featherweight prospect. Good to see others doing their homework on these up and comers around the world

dont yell at me

Biyong has got a fight in Bellator against Manhoef soon, I don't know if he's signed a long term deal with them or if it's just for one fight.

I thought he was okay but didn't look UFC ready when I saw him in Rizin.

 

[Senbonzakura]

Okay someone needs to tell us how to pronounce that name lol

is it pronounced Dry-Kiss Doo Play-Cees?

Close, not play-cees but ple-ciss

 

[Anoose]

That shit made no sense brah. I get what you're saying, but it makes no sense.

We are talking nationality here not changing to different animals.

Ok bro, keep at it.
Chimaev is as Swedish as Du Pleissis is African.

I just have to say that I think it’s really weird you left out the Sul part when it literally says Sul-Africano. Some really weird click bate shit happens here. I’m not amused by any of it.

Born and raised in South Africa, as well as probably 5 generations before him. African is not an ethnicity. It's a nationality.

 

[RampageFaction]

Lol sounds like Wikus van de merwe.

Literally born in the African continent? stop race baiting

Ok bro, keep at it.

You're not wrong.

Chimaev IS Swedish.
And Du Plessis IS African.

 

[Anoose]

Chimaev IS Swedish.
And Du Plessis IS African.

Ok bro.

 

[Ares Black]

Ok bro.

What would you call Du Plessis, if not African?

Just curious.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

What would you call Du Plessis, if not African?

Just curious.

Obviously he's Dutch despite the fact that noone in his family has lived in Holland for a couple of hundred years.

Cool. I guess I'm Irish then.

I agree with you, Du Plessis is as African as they come.

 

[Ares Black]

I agree with you, Du Plessis is as African as they come.

....

He's literally from South Africa.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Today Sherdog learned that there are white people born and raised in Africa and have been for centuries

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I agree with you, Du Plessis is as African as they come.

What would you call him?
