Henry Cejudo backs UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis to take out two dominant fighters. Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) retained his middleweight title by defeating Sean Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) a second time in Saturday’s UFC 312 main event at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.

There is no debate after UFC 312, Dricus du Plessis is the rightful UFC middleweight champion. Questions remain about who the promotion's best 185-pounder is. Fortunately, those questions could be answered this year.

With Du Plessis’ dominant decision victory over Sean Strickland at UFC 312, the stage has been set for a showdown between ‘DDP’ and the undefeated Chechen monster. When and where their inevitable clash takes place remains to be seen, but the oddsmakers are already favoring ‘Borz’ to come out on top.
