Dricus Du Plessis Supports Trump And Musk At Ufc 312 Media Day

DRICUS du Plessis showed up at the UFC 312 media day in Sydney on Wednesday wearing a t-shirt printed with 'Trump prefers champions', making it clear of where he stands amid what is currently happening between US president Donald Trump, South Africa, and the world at large.

Trump has accused South Africa of 'confiscating land' and treating 'certain classes of people' badly. South African-born Elon Musk also weighed in on the issue, accusing South Africa and president Cyril Ramaphosa of 'having openly racist laws'.

The claims have been heavily criticised and refuted by the South African Government.

Ahead of his second title defence in Sydney on Saturday, UFC middleweight champion, Du Plessis took a stand in favour of Trump and Musk.

'With everything going on right now, change is coming, good changes. Big shoutout to fellow South African Elon Musk for also doing the right thing. Trump prefers champions,' said Du Plessis.
