UFC 305 Preview Show: Can Israel Adesanya Recapture Gold Against Dricus Du Plessis?

By MMA Fighting

Israel Adesanya has a chance to etch his name in history against Dricus du Plessis this weekend. On Saturday, du Plessis defends his middleweight title against Adesanya in the main event of UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, and in a bout that has been building for over a year with bad blood. On top of that, if Adesanya wins, he will become only the second fighter in history to win an undisputed title in one weight class three times. Can Adesanya join Randy Couture in the pantheon of MMA greats, or will du Plessis establish firm control over the 185 pound division? Ahead of this weekend's UFC pay-per-view, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew is joined by Mike Heck to preview the big event down in Perth, including the co-main event flyweight tilt between Kai Kara-France and Steve Erceg, the lightweight scrap between Mateusz Gamrot and Dan Hooker, the heavyweight slugfest betwween Tai Tuivasa and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and more.
