Abdul Razak Alhassan rips Du Plessis for actual African champ feedback

Abdul Razak Alhassan was fired up when addressing Dricus Du Plessis’ actual African champion feedback.

South Africa-born and raised Du Plessis claimed that he’ll be the one to deliver the belt to Africa, arguing that not like him, Israel Adesanya, Kamaru Usman, and Francis Ngannou now not resided in Africa after they turned UFC champions.

Adesanya was irked by Du Plessis’ feedback, and that narrative is an enormous storyline within the lead-up to their title combat at UFC 305 Aug. 17 in Perth. Ghana’s Alhassan (12-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) didn’t take it simple on Du Plessis, blasting him for what he deemed as insensitive feedback.

“I respect the issues he’s accomplished in MMA, however he’s a f*cking b*tch,” Alhassan mentioned at Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 59 media day. “He’s a f*cking asshole for that phrase that he used. If he’s a f*cking actual African and he lived in Africa, he would have by no means used that f*cking phrase. He’s a f*cking b*tchass to make use of that phrase as a result of if he was raised with the poor individuals in Africa, the way in which I used to be raised, the way in which I grew up, with how I am going days with out meals.

“If we get the chance to go away that sh*t gap – I’m sorry, I’m not attempting to name my nation a sh*t gap, but when I’m poor and I can go to America or go to a unique nation to make a greater life for myself, I’d f*cking minimize off one in all my legs to go. If he’s a real African, he would have understood that. Which means he was dwelling the comfy life, his household had the cash to feed him day by day, so he didn’t have to fret about leaving (Africa) to go and make it.”

Alhassan returns to motion in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 59 (ESPN/ESPN+) essential card opener when he takes on Cody Brundage (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) at Ball Enviornment in Denver.
