The middleweight title goes on the line at UFC 305 in Perth, with Dricus du Plessis (21-2) looking to turn back the challenge of two-time former champion Israel Adesanya (24-3).
After a spiteful build up in which both men have promised spectacular victories, this promises to be a main event with plenty of action.
Can Adesanya climb the 185-pound mountain for a third time or will du Plessis’ winning run extend to 10 consecutive fights?
