Speculations About Dricus Du Plessis’ Sexuality Calling Him Gay!

Dricus Du Plessis (@Dricusduplessis) is a professional fighter and an outspoken person, but he has never come out as gay. It is still a question regarding his sexuality, as he has never accepted or denied the rumors of people calling him gay. And it doesn’t look like he is soon going to address these claims. It’s not a surprise that Plessis is being called gay, as it has been a normal trend in Hollywood to be rumored regarding their sexuality, and he is not new to it.

The rumors about Dricus Du Plessis being gay started after a clip of him and his coach went viral. In a widely shared video, Dricus du Plessis is seen rising from his stool just before round two of his UFC 290 bout with Robert Whittaker starts. After giving Plessis a quick pat on the chest, the fighter’s coach grabbed his behind as he stood up.

The coach also seemed to give Du Plessis a kiss on the lips. Cameron Saaiman‘s coach also gave him a kiss on the lips prior to their battle.  The combatants’ and their coach’s affectionate gestures caused rumors regarding their relationship and called him gay, and one of the fans tweeted pictures and a video of the events. UFC middleweight Sean Strickland responded to the video showing Dricus Du Plessis and Saaiman interacting with their coach by mentioning the fan’s post. This created a discussion on the internet.

Since then, his sexuality has been questioned. However, right now, there are no proofs that he has ever dated any male or has never been linked with any male, other than with his coach. Going through his Instagram, we could find nothing suspicious regarding his sexuality. So we cannot jump directly to any conclusion regarding Dricus Du Plessis being gay or not.

Dricus Du Plessis Is Not Married Yet!

Dricus Du Plessis has not just been speculated upon regarding his sexuality; fans also think he is a married man. And we, at the moment, are also really unaware of how and why the rumors started.

Also, talking about his girlfriend in 2023, he doesn’t seem to have one.

A Detail About Dricus Du Plessis’ Recent Post on Instagram!

Recently, Dricus Du Plessis shared a post on Instagram saying he won’t beg for his title shot against Sean Strickland. He knows the UFC is a business and that decisions are made by others, even though he believes he should be the champion. At UFC 290 in July, he (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) defeated Robert Whittaker to maintain his undefeated record in the octagon. He immediately squared up in the cage against Israel Adesanya, the middleweight champion at the time.

However, a fractured foot kept him from making a fast recovery two months later at UFC 293; Sean Strickland was given the championship chance instead. After deposing Adesanya to win the title, Strickland seems unlikely to face Du Plessis again. Before Kamaru Usman unexpectedly took over for Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294, Dana White referred to the match as a top contender match.

After Chimaev’s victory, White reaffirmed that he would be the next. Usman’s defeat by Chimaev did not impress Du Plessis. Chimaev (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) started the fight with a solid 10-8 round, but according to Dricus Du Plessis, he lost his aura of invincibility and isn’t The Boogeyman.
