Dricus Du Plessis Will Defend Title Against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305

Dricus Du Plessis

This will be a welcome return to the Octagon for Dricus Du Plessis as he is now expected to defend his title for the very first time at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia. The fight will see him fighting Israel Adesanya, who is a former two-timer in the middleweight category. This title defense can be considered a critical moment in Du Plessis’s career as he hopes to stand stronger as the champion of the division and show that his triumph over Sean Strickland is not a one-time accomplishment.

Dricus Du Plessis’s Journey to the Top

The African Oriental middleweight championship was won by Dricus Du Plessis in a spectacular split decision against Sean Strickland at UFC 294 in January. This was a pivotal moment in his career as he was making his status with a series of excellent performances. Nonetheless, the battle was far from a landslide victory, and the decision has continued sparking controversies and, even more, requests for a battle redo from Strickland who claims he lost due to cheating.
Dricus  Du Plessis has firmly set his sights on the title after getting it in his possession and is thus conscious of the duties that come with the achievement. In preparation for his first title defense, he is willing to show that he will hold himself against one of the top contenders in the middleweight division, Israel Adesanya. The 32-year-old fighter with knockout power in his striking and explosive personality will pose a different kind of test that the LetOut Gym product is ready to deal with. Whatever the outcome of the wrestle between Du Plessis and Adesanya, fans are in for a showdown they have been waiting for.
The two-time middleweight champion is seeking to regain the trophy that once he held. In addition, his striking abilities welded with the preparation in the major bouts make him a daunting figure to him. The fight is anticipated to be a showdown of tactics as Adesanya makes clean and accurate kicking while Du Plessis will approach it as a mean machine with rushing punches and kicks.

The Status of Strickland and Middleweight Division

Despite the attentiveness of Dricus Du Plessis in his straight match, Sean Strickland has been a loudmouth about the second round. The controversy of Strickland stating that he needs another shot at the belt has been debatable because fans think he deserves another shot. On this, he of course has a different view. He also stressed that he expects Strickland to have to wait before he prepares to fight for the title again.

However, when focusing on him, he is ready to face anyone the UFC decides to match him with. He admits both  Robert Whittaker and Sean Strickland have solid grounds to fight for the title, although he also understands the UFC would like to see Khamzat Chimaev battle for the belt. Chimaev is the new player in the division and the UFC has even displayed a desire to cast him as the upper-echelon talent.

Conclusion: Fans Expectation

Dricus Du Plessis stays on top of reality as the fans demand from him. He has the urge to fix entertaining and competitive bouts that will be interesting for people to watch and place their bets on. The goal he sets before himself and achieves is to only take fights with the best fighters and make sure that all his fights are exciting and intense. Although he is already planning to have the first title defense against Adesanya, the middleweight division still holds interesting challengers and fighters. Thus, all the outcomes of the future bouts, such as his defense and the further possible fights between Chimaev, Whittaker, and Strickland will determine the future and will always intrigue fighting fans all around the globe.
