In the end, Du Plessis managed to keep his title as UFC champion with a fourth-round submission from Adesanya.
Following the highly-anticipated fight, the fighters sat down in a post-fight press conference to take questions from the media.
During Du Plessis' round of questions, the champion was seen drinking a Monster energy drink during the interview, but viewers quickly realised it might not have been an actual energy drink.
In a video clip that has since gone viral, the champion can be seen taking a sip of his drink when he notices something strange about it.
