South African Dricus du Plessis caused another sensation on Sunday, August 18 in Perth, Australia, by retaining the middleweight belt of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the most important mixed martial arts (MMA) league.

Enough to make this sport even more popular in Nelson Mandela’s country.
