Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and lock Eben Etzebeth celebrated wildly after their compatriot Dricus du Plessis' UFC win in Perth on Sunday.
Du Plessis defended his UFC middleweight title after a fourth-round submission win over bitter rival Israel Adesanya in a blockbuster bout at Perth Arena.
Du Plessis was accompanied into the Octagon by Kolisi and Etzebeth, with his country's national anthem thundering around the venue. The Boks were also in Perth having beaten Australia 30-12 in a Rugby Championship Test on Saturday .
After Du Plessis' victory, Etzebeth and Kolisi could hardly contain their enthusiasm as they celebrated.
Du Plessis (22-2) has now won 10 fights in a row, having originally claimed the belt after beating American Sean Strickland in January.
