TL;DR

Israel Adesanya commended Dricus du Plessis for his dominant decision over Kamaru Usman at UFC Oklahoma City, calling it the best performance he’s seen from DDP and noting improvements in his punching and a key knee in a single‑leg sequence. The former rivals’ tension has cooled, and Adesanya believes the win will boost African MMA by expanding the continent’s talent pool and drawing more African fighters into main events.
