UFC 305 takes place on Saturday, August 17th at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.
Headlining the event is the much-anticipated bout between current UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis (21-2 MMA) and former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA).
‘Stillknocks’ has won 9 in a row coming into UFC 305, his most recent victory coming against Sean Strickland (29-6 MMA) this past January at UFC 297 to claim the title.
‘The Last Stylebender’ is sporting 2 wins and 2 losses in his last 4 fights in the Octagon. Adesanya most recently fought and was defeated by Strickland in September of 2023 at UFC 293.
It will be Du Plessis’s first title defense and Adesanya’s first opportunity to become a 3-time middleweight champion, which would be a first in UFC history.
Hence to say there is a lot on the line for both fighters come August 17th.
