UFC champion Dricus du Plessis had the whole world talking after he managed to defend his title during his much-anticipated fight against Israel Adesanya on Sunday.
'Stillknocks' and the Nigerian-New Zealand mixed martial artist had some unfinished business after they developed quite the rivalry leading up to their fight.
The rivalry created quite a buzz ahead of their UFC 305 fight, with many wondering who would emerge victorious.

In the end, Du Plessis managed to keep his title as UFC champion with a fourth-round submission from Adesanya.
Following the highly-anticipated fight, the fighters sat down in a post-fight press conference to take questions from the media.
During Du Plessis' round of questions, the champion was seen drinking a Monster energy drink during the interview, but viewers quickly realised it might not have been an actual energy drink.
In a video clip that has since gone viral, the champion can be seen taking a sip of his drink when he notices something strange about it.

He then looks suspiciously at the drink before directing his suspicious eyes to the audience, looking for the culprit who might have swapped it out.
It has been alleged that Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth replaced the drink with brandy.
