Dricus Du Plessis Hoping To Secure Title Shot
1 year agoDricus Du Plessis (19-2) is set for the toughest test of his career when he faces former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 on Saturday. Du Plessis enters the fight riding a seven-fight winning streak and is a perfect 5-0 in the UFC. The South African is a big underdog, as DraftKings has him at a salary of $7,100, but he is averaging 108.43 fantasy points per fight. In his UFC career, Du Plessis has finished four of his five fights. A win over Whittaker will secure Du Plessis a title shot, as Dana White has already announced that the winner of Du Plessis-Whittaker will face Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title, likely in September.
