UFC 305 du Plessis vs. Adesanya PPV Pay Per View August 17th 2024 Preview.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight rivals Dricus Du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya will finally go to war TONIGHT (Sat., Aug. 17, 2024) at UFC 305 inside RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. The UFC will close out its summer pay-per-view offerings with an absolutely epic matchup between Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis with the latter's middleweight title on the line at UFC 305.
This match up has been building for a long time. Du Plessis irked Adesanya years ago with his true African champion comments, prompting “Stylebender” to keep an eye on “Stillknocks” even if he wasn’t yet a player in the 185-pound title mix. Du Plessis rose through the ranks quickly and earned a shot at Adesanya’s golden strap, but injury allowed Sean Strickland to sneak into a title shot and make the most of his opportunity.
Israel Adesanya might be the best overall striker in MMA today. His blend of technique, timing and power is the foundation for his success inside the cage. He has finished 16 of his 24 career wins. Dricus du Plessis won't be confused for a technician. His striking can be awkward, but it is effective. Nine of his 21 wins have come by way of knockout and he has a TKO win over Robert Whittaker. Another 10 of Du Plessis's wins have come by submission.
That's where things could get interesting. Du Plessis has a good wrestling game to set up those submissions. Adesanya is known for his takedown defense and he's faced great wrestlers before, but he's 35 years old now. The fun in this fight lies in the fact that either fighter could end the bout at either time. They are two of the most efficient fighters in the division and Du Plessis' ability to mix his striking and wrestling to set up submissions is going to create an interesting matchup with Adesanya's striking mastery. This is truly a coin flip fight, but Du Plessis's youth, well-rounded skills and grit will be enough to defend his title.
