Israel Adesanya vows 'to f***ing beat rival Du Plessis til he's black' in X-rated attack as African UFC feud escalates | The Sun
ISRAEL ADESANYA has vowed to leave Dricus du Plessis "black" and blue after he finally gets his hands on him.
The defending middleweight champion has found himself embroiled in a feud with 'Stillknocks' after the South African declared himself the UFC's "real African fighter".
Nigerian-born New Zealander Adesanya took umbrage at Du Plessis' statement – in which he suggested the belts won by The Last Stylebender, Kamaru Usman and Francis Ngannou didn't go back to Africa.
Fan favourite Adesanya revealed his fury at the former EFC two-division champ in the aftermath of his knockout victory over Alex Pereira earlier this month.
And he doubled down on his desire to brutalise the 29-year-old in a Battle of Africa in a post-fight review on his YouTube channel.
The 33-year-old told brother David: “I’m going to f***ing take him to school in the octagon and on history. What he’s doing is creating divide.

“You can’t know your history – I have never questioned him as an African because, yeah, you were born in Africa, South Africa, of course, you’re an African.
"I’ve never questioned that.
"But who the f**k is this c*****r to tell me who the f**k I am, who the f**k Kamaru is, who the f**k Ngannou is. I’m like, ‘Are you dumb?’"
Adesanya was quick to point out the apartheid past South Africa – which officially ended three months after Du Plessis, 29, was born.
