UFC 305: Dricus Du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya Fight Card Preview

Dricus Du Plessis Defeats Israel Adesanya At UFC 305

The main event saw Dricus Du Plessis defend his UFC middleweight title for the first time against two-time champion Israel Adesanya. “The Last Stylebender” lost his title in a shocking upset loss to Sean Strickland last year, and at UFC 305 his bid to win the belt for a third time was stifled by a fourth-round submission from Du Plessis.

The night’s co-main event was a huge flyweight tilt featuring Kai Kara-France and recent title challenger Steve Erceg. Kara-France was returning more than a year after his last appearance in the Octagon, and he successfully snapped a two-fight skid when he stopped Erceg with strikes in the opening round.

The rest of the main card also included Dan Hooker besting Mateusz Gamrot in a high-paced lightweight bout after Jairzinho Rozenstruik handed Tai Tuivasas his fifth-straight loss. The main card kicked off with a highlight-reel knockout from Carlos Prates when he took on Li Jingliang, and highlights from the prelims included Jesus Aguilar handed Stewart Nicoll the first loss of his career as well as Jack Jenkins stopping Herbert Burns in a featherweight bout.
