Odds on Du Plessis vs. Adesanya

The oddsmakers are going to let the bettors decide who should be the favorite in a potential bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya.

Du Plessis (21-2-0) called for Adesanya following his victory over Sean Strickland last night.

BetOnline set the odds at -110 each way, and early action has ever-so-slightly moved the odds toward Izzy. Here are the current numbers:

Dricus Du Plessis -105

Israel Adesanya -115

"When they said, 'and new,' it felt like 15 years of work, dreaming and sacrificing came together in one single sentence," Du Plessis said following his victory. "It was incredible, it feels surreal. Amazing."

Upon the scorecards being read, Du Plessis called for the South African flag.

"This is history," Du Plessis said in his postfight interview.

It wasn't a particularly decisive win however.

UFC CEO Dana White said he thought Strickland won the hotly contested bout. Strickland actually landed more significant strikes, 173-137.

"I had it 2-2 going into the last round and I thought Strickland won the last round," White said. "Guys who were sitting at the same table [as me] had it going the other way. ... But I'm also a guy who believes you have to take it from the champion."
