Dricus du Plessis says he’s the only African champion in the UFC

South African UFC middleweight champion tells CNN’s Larry Madowo that he is the only African champion that lives and trains in Africa. He spoke in Pretoria, months before his fight against Israel Adesanya in Australia. What about Francis Ngannou or Kamaru Usman?

He's talking about nationality and people took it as a race thing

[Sprinkle-sgyb]

Well, you can't argue with that.

Adesanya's wikipedia says he's from New Zealand that guy has no right to be angry, Ngannou is french

Africa needs to know who it should support... du plessis chose africa, he represents south africa and the others left and yet they dont know who to support...You can't represent Africa if you don't live there and represent its culture proudly...Africa should always be the priority... not a second choice

Larry this was a fantastic chat with Drivus Dublesis one of the best I’ve seen on CNN
Larry we’ve seen you in all the war zones dodging bullets gas canisters etc so you are truly a reporter but this is a special interview with Drivus well done

[Njvghvvnn]

False Francis didn’t get upset he knows it’s true . Insecure Izzy is mad

[DeadliestScurge]

which is correct, does Izzy have a belt? Does Kamaru have a belt? Is Francis even in the ufc? lol people are restarted. Dricus is the only African champion in the ufc right now. Name another African in the ufc that is holding gold currently…
