Dricus Du Plessis disappointed with Pereira’s attitude: “The aura is gone”

Dricus Du Plessis is disappointed with Alex Pereira’s attitude in his fight against Magomed Ankalaev. The middleweight champion said the Brazilian’s aura was gone.

Dricus Du Plessis has repeatedly expressed his desire to fight a bout with Alex Pereira. In the current situation at the top of the middleweight and welterweight divisions, it would be difficult to bring about such a juxtaposition. It should also be borne in mind that Poatan is increasingly looking towards the heavyweight category.

For the time being, however, Alex Pereira must put aside any dreams. All because of his defeat in a bout withMagomed Ankalaev. The Brazilian lost the UFC welterweight championship belt to the Dagestan and, to put it lightly, did not captivate the crowds with his attitude in this bout.

Dricus Du Plessis watched and evaluated the fight in the company of Jackson O’Doherty. It was in a friend’s vlog that Dricus summed up the result of the Ankalaev vs Pereira duel with the words.

– Thanks to Ankalaev for taking away the biggest paycheck of my career, it’s nothing personal. Pereira’s aura is gone.

Dricus Du Plessis was hoping for a cash fight with Alex Pereira, however, it was not the African’s priority. The South African representative wants to defend his title and is eager for both a fight with Khamzat Chimaev and a clash with Nassourdin Imavov. Recently, the first rumors have surfaced suggesting that Du Plessis will defend the middleweight division belt in late June at UFC 317.
