For du Plessis, this is all about proving himself as champion. He was able to capture the belt from Sean Strickland earlier this year but now, he has to defend it. While nobody really knows what direction the bout will go in, one thing is for sure – it promises to be a barnburner down under.
As we know, the UFC has been creating custom shorts for fighters over the course of the last few pay-per-view events. Ahead of UFC 305, they’ve done so for both of the main eventers.

Adesanya has lightning-themed trunks in a really intriguing change of pace. As for du Plessis, his will be themed around his homeland of South Africa.
We all know the negative connotations associated with this fight. It stems from a bizarre back and forth about their respective African origins, culminating in an explosive in-cage altercation.
