Ranked No 1 in the UFC middleweight division, Du Plessis is poised to contest for the championship belt, solidifying his position as one of the sport's greats.
Recognising his remarkable accomplishments and dedication, Mercedes-Benz South Africa has welcomed Du Plessis into its “Friends of the Brand” programme.
As a part of this programme, Du Plessis will have the privilege of driving the latest Mercedes-Benz EQE 43 AMG, symbolising a new era of performance that aligns perfectly with his fighting spirit.

“Here is a man who has proven himself, not just to South Africa, but to the world,” said Mercedes-Benz South Africa vice-president of sales and marketing Alex Boavida.
“He has fought his way to the top and has the stats to prove his tenacity. Dricus represents South Africa and now Mercedes-Benz as well. The EQE 43 AMG he will be driving complements his prestige while remaining true to his roots. This car is a powerhouse, a fighter, yet sophisticated and elegant.”
