Dricus du Plessis added another impressive win to his résumé at UFC 305 when he vanquished former champion Israel Adesanya by submission to defend his UFC middleweight title for the first time.
While there were certainly dicey moments in the fight for both competitors, du Plessis displayed his usual grit and determination to weather a few storms from Adesanya before dishing out punishment of his own and then finishing with a nasty rear-naked choke.
