WATCH: UFC Fighter Jumps Out of Octagon To Greet President Trump Following Huge Victory

Dricus du Plessis, who is one of the most famed South African representatives in the UFC, stopped Australian UFC legend Robert Whittaker at UFC 290.

The South African fighter remains undefeated in the UFC (now 6-0), and was targeting what was yet another huge win in his career, which he duly achieved in fine style.

As is turned out, Du Plessis rose to the occasion once again as he delivered a series of devastating blows that earned him a stunning victory to most, except me. I knew Du Plessis was the real deal and had a great chance of pulling off the upset, in which he did.

DRICUS DU PLESSIS PREDICTED A SOUTH AFRICA ‘DOUBLE’

The bout was watched by former US President Donald Trump, who Du Plessis jumped out of the octagon to greet during h is celebrations post-bout. It was a great moment for all UFC fans, especially those from the U.S. who adore the former President.

Trump is an avid fan of the UFC, and dear friend to Dana White whose relationship dates decades long.

For those wondering Du Plessis is not an American citizen, but definitely has respect for the former President, and has surely gained many new fans following his showing last night.

Although Dricus du Plessis was seen as a massive underdog by bookmakers, he had predicted prior to the fight that both he and the Springboks would achieve victory over their Australian opponents this weekend – which they duly did.

“With 100% of my being, I believe that we will go 2-0 against Australia… It will be a clean sweep for the Springboks and the green and gold,” he said in an interview with SuperSport last week.

For those who missed the result, the Springboks beat the Wallabies 43-12 in their Rugby Championship opener at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.
