Du Plessis books Adesanya grudge match with shock UFC 290 KO of Whittaker

DRICUS DU PLESSIS teed up a grudge match with Israel Adesanya thanks to a shock second-round TKO victory over Robert Whittaker.

The South African slugger looked to continue his surge up the middleweight ranks against the former champion on a stacked UFC 290 card in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The former EFC welter and middleweight titleholder was a huge underdog going into the biggest fight of his professional MMA career.

But he produced a career-best display to set up what could be an ugly Sydney showdown with The Last Stylebender.

Both men traded leg kicks early doors as they looked to get a feel on one another.
