In January, Du Plessis successfully defended his championship against Sean Strickland via split decision.
It was a fiercely tough fight that improved the South African fighter's record to 7-0 in the UFC and 21-2 overall.
Even while questions about his unconventional style and techniques will never go away, Du Plessis has proven himself thus far, winning against divisional opponents such Brad Tavares, Derek Brunson, and Robert Whittaker before overcoming Strickland at UFC 297 in Toronto.

Israel Adesanya preview
Adesanya competes for the first time since losing to Strickland in Sydney in September, and she gives a very bad showing.
It would be interesting to see how Adesanya reacts in this situation because the 35-year-old has recovered from setbacks with remarkable grace.

Most notably, he took out Alex Pereira at UFC 287 in April of last year to recapture the middleweight title.
I know this sounds dramatic, but it seems like this fight, at least temporarily, will determine the direction the middleweight division takes.

Should Du Plessis prevail, it will be the beginning of a new era at the top of the division, securing the 30-year-old's position as the best man in the 185-pound class and creating opportunities for a variety of new matchups.
Adesanya will take back the throne he initially conquered over five years ago if he prevails, making history as the first person to hold the middleweight title three times.
Adesanya has already teased a knockout win against Du Plessis setting up an interesting encounter.
