Dricus Du Plessis' coach makes case for trilogy vs. Sean Strickland next

Morne Visser, Dricus Du Plessis' coach, advocates for a trilogy fight between the two MMA fighters. Du Plessis, with a record of 24-3 in MMA, including 10-1 in the UFC, defeated Strickland twice before losing his title to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319. Strickland, currently with a record of 31-7 (18-7 in the UFC), is set to face Nassourdine Imavov after dethroning Chimaev at UFC 328.

Despite Strickland's success in recent fights, Visser believes a trilogy bout would be the next logical step. He dismisses the possibility of the fighters engaging in another bout with Imavov, citing the veteran's age and lack of motivation to change his fighting style. Visser is confident that Du Plessis will secure another victory against Strickland, predicting a highly evasive and standup-focused battle reminiscent of the past fights.

Visser acknowledges Strickland's defensive skills and wrestling prowess, but asserts that Du Plessis has learned from past mistakes and is ready to capitalize on them.
