The UFC middleweight title stayed with South African champion Dricus Du Plessis.
Du Plessis defended his belt this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 305, submitting former champ Israel Adesanya by fourth-round rear-naked choke. It was the first title defense for Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) after he won the belt in January by dethroning Sean Strickland. On the other hand, this result left Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC), an all-time middleweight great, 1-3 in his past four outings.
What does this result say about both men? How good is Du Plessis? Where does Adesanya go from here after another championship loss?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Matthew Wells, Danny Segura, and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia answer those questions and more.
