The Octagon heads to the vibrant city of Perth, Australia, for a night of explosive action as UFC 305 promises to deliver a spectacle for fight fans worldwide. The main event is a highly anticipated rematch between the bold and indomitable middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis with 21 wins in 23 fights, and the charismatic former champion, Israel Adesanya with 24 wins in 27 fights. Their rivalry has ignited a firestorm of controversy and trash talk, setting the stage for a potential fight of the year.

Looking to reclaim his throne, Adesanya will be eager to avenge his shocking loss to Sean Strickland. With his striking brilliance and unwavering confidence, the Nigerian-born fighter aims to dismantle du Plessis and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest middleweights ever. However, he faces a formidable opponent in du Plessis, a rising star with raw power and an iron will. The South African has been on a relentless path of destruction, and he’ll be looking to prove that his victory over Robert Whittaker was no fluke.

The co-main event features a battle of Oceania as New Zealand’s Kai Kara-France takes on Australia’s Steve Erceg. Both fighters are known for their explosive styles, and their clash promises to be a thrilling showcase of striking.

The undercard is stacked with exciting matchups, featuring a mix of established veterans and promising newcomers. From heavyweights trading bombs to featherweights showcasing their technical prowess, UFC 305 has something for every fight fan.
