Man, I gotta tell you about this wild thing that’s been blowing up all over the internet. You know Dricus du Plessis, that South African UFC fighter? Well, he’s got this habit that’s got everyone talking. So, I decide to check this out, see what the fuss is about.
First, I watched a few of his fights, you know, just to get a feel for the guy. This dude is a beast in the Octagon, seriously. Wins a fight, and what’s the first thing he does? Plants a big ol’ kiss on his coach, Morne Visser, right on the lips! I was like, “Whoa, okay, that’s…different.”
Finding More Information
Naturally, I hit up the internet, started Googling around. Turns out, it’s a thing. A tradition, they call it. Apparently, it’s more common in African culture, a way to show respect, like greeting your father or grandfather. Interesting, right? Still, seeing it after a UFC fight was a bit of a shock.
I dug deeper, found some interviews, and even a podcast where he talks about it. He’s like, “Yeah, it’s how we were brought up. It’s a sign of respect.” Some folks are cool with it, others, not so much. They’re like, “What’s going on here?” It’s sparked a whole debate online, which is pretty fascinating.
Other Discoveries
- Big Money: Found out this guy makes bank. After one fight, he reportedly pulled in over $600,000! That’s a lot of zeroes.
- More Fights: I even read that he submitted Israel Adesanya, another big name in the UFC. This du Plessis guy is no joke.
So, I spent a good chunk of my day diving into this whole “Dricus du Plessis kiss” thing. It’s way more than just a quick peck on the lips. It’s about culture, respect, tradition, and, of course, winning big in the UFC. This whole thing just shows you, there’s always something new to learn, something unexpected out there. Keeps life interesting, you know?
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive for the day. What a ride! Hope you guys are as interested as I am.
