Dricus Du Plessis(4-1)is a South African MMA fighter who recently came to Tiger Muay Thai in preparation for his upcoming fight at EFC Africa -Extreme Fighting Championship Africa 37 against Darren Daniel. Headlining that card is Leon Mynhardt and Don Madge who are both Tiger Muay Thai alumni.
Current EFC Lightweight Champion Leon Mynhardt who is also a multiple time guest at TMT told him about Tiger Muay Thai.
" Leon is my training partner and is also a good friend of mine and he told me all about it. I came and loved it."
Dricus started at a young age of 5 training Judo and then took up wrestling when he was 11. He had his first K-1 fight at 15 and became a professional fighter by 19.
He is also a 3rd year Student in Agriculture Economics at the University of Pretoria.
" I spend a lot of time on the farm when I am not training and I also enjoy Watersports, Rugby, Hunting and Motorbike Riding."
Dricus's home camp is Team CIT MMA in Pretoria South Africa.
" There are a lot of similarities in my gym and TMT but also a lot of differences mostly having 20+ training partners to train with and also getting trained by so many top coaches and learning all their different ways of thinking and approach. It is also awesome to be here sharing my passion with a lot of people!"
Dricus is a young fighter and only after 3 impressive wins in the EFC, he was given the title shot for the EFC Worldwide Middleweight Title against now UFC Fighter Gareth Mclellan.
" I lost in the 3rd round via choke. I am looking forward to my next fight against another tough guy and a former Welterweight Champ Dino Bagatin."
He is definitely a fighter to watch!
" I am inspired by Leon Mynhardt, Michiel Opperman and also many UFC Fighters but most of all, I am inspired by how much my life has changed since I turned Pro learning that nothing comes easy and you have to work hard to achieve greatness and greatness is the only thing I am after and nothing less."
Du Plessis is also sponsored by GNC, Badboy, ABE MIDAS, SA, Kotze Gearbox and GST
