What's up with Dricus nickname?

I honestly think it’s Strickland trying to rally the African fans like he did Australia/NZ against Izzy.
Only this time I don’t think it’s working out the way he wants it to, it’s just coming across desperate.
Yeah if true, it would be an impossible task.

The South African people are nuts deep in for DDP. He's a hero over there.

It's like if Matt Serra would try to convert Canadians over to his side when he fought GSP.

Mission Impossible.
 
Yes, Duplessis is a noble French family name if i'm not mistaken , Plessis is an area/commune in the northern area of France , the surname means basically ..coming from Plessis.
Not exactly

A plessis is a kind of hedge and by extension, refers to a specific place, often a large and important farm.

Du Plessis ancestors were very likely huguenots farmers from the Saintonge or the Luberon region.
Huguenots were calvinists protestants who fled from France in the late 17th century, in order to avoid persecutions due to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which used to guarantee them the protection of the king.
