Israel Adesanya gets his grudge match at UFC 305.
Israel Adesanya has announced that he will be fighting Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, on August 17.
'The Last Stylebender' revealed his comeback fight as part of an Instagram post on June 17.
Adesanya vs. du Plessis is a middleweight grudge match that has been brewing for the better part of two years. The two African natives have been arguing about who brings more pride to their continent, and the tension reached its peak during du Plessis' post-fight huddle at UFC 297.
