He believes that UFC President Dana White and the rest of the UFC see that Du Plessis has plenty to offer, and that if he continues to fight the way that he knows he can, he’ll be featured in main events and fighting for the middleweight title in no time.
“I think it speaks a million words what the company thinks of me, my fight style, and I’m honored. It’s what I set out to do. Be an entertaining fighter while winning at the same time,” Du Plessis said. “The opportunity is anybody’s for the taking and it’s great the UFC is seeing that I take the opportunity and they are giving me the reward that I feel that I deserve.

“Till is an object in my way to glory. That’s the only thing I see; an object that I need to get past to be the best.”
There is no doubt in Du Plessis’ mind that beating Till in emphatic fashion at UFC 282 is just another stepping stone on his way to achieving his lifelong goal.
“This win will cement me as a top 10 contender in the division and that’s when we get into the big fights and to the top,” Du Plessis said. “I will be the UFC champion.”
