“I’m going on the market to combat the best way (I combat) and see what occurs. He didn’t change his recreation plan with Robert Whittaker as a result of it was a five-rounder,” du Plessis added. “That sort of already offers me the sense that he’s not gonna take into consideration the 5 rounds when he ought to be.
“5 rounds is a very long time, and I’m not scared to get into that darkish place. We’ve seen that. If we go full velocity, , I can combat drained all day. I’ve accomplished that many occasions.
