"Stillknocks' broached the tender subject of Strickland's abusive childhood, which led to the then champ threatening to stab Du Plessis. This strategy of emotional engagement is clearly effective as it has continued to provoke strong reactions from opponents."
Du Plessis claims, 'I said it, I won't be bullied ever. When you have guys that act tough, that want to bully, once they get that medicine, that's how you stop a bully as well.' This highlights his mindset towards confronting aggressive opponents in an emotional and psychological manner.
In the ongoing conflict with Adesanya, Du Plessis stated, 'Privileged or not, I'm here as the champion and I'm not going anywhere.' This statement showcases his determination to assert his position amidst emotional and personal challenges.
