The UFC remained in Perth, Western Australia for a UFC 305 card that saw the middleweight title up for grabs.
In the primary occasion of UFC 305, middleweight champ Dricus Du Plessis was aiming to protect his belt for the very first time versus previous champ Israel Adesanya. It was a highly-anticipated bout as the 2 have actually had a competition for many years.
Eventually, it was Du Plessis who scored a fourth-round submission win over Adesanya to safeguard his middleweight title for the very first time. Following UFC 305, here is what I believe ought to be next for fighters associated with the centerpiece.
Dricus Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis has actually shown the skeptics incorrect once again, as he scored a submission win over Israel Adesanya. Du Plessis has actually been neglected throughout his UFC profession and he as soon as again made a declaration. In the 4th round, Du Plessis landed some huge shots and as Adesanya was up to the ground, he got ahold of his back and sunk in a choke to get the submission.
Dricus Du Plessis’ next title defense will protest Sean Strickland, as Dana White revealed he would get the next title shot. Du Plessis believes Robert Whittaker need to get the next title shot, ‘The Reaper’ is scheduled to battle Khamzat Chimaev, so ‘Strickland vs. Du Plessis 2’ will likely be next.
Israel Adesanya
Israel Adesanya will have a non-title defend the very first time because 2019.
Adesanya is now on a two-fight losing streak after losing to Dricus Du Plessis and is simply 1-3 in his last 4 battles in general. Adesanya will likely require to win a number of battles in a row to get another fracture at the belt. A sensible next battle is to deal with the winner of Nassourdine Imavov vs. Brendan Allen at UFC Paris.
The battle can work as a Fight Night centerpiece or be on a pay-per-view card, as the winner would likely be a win far from a title shot.
