If you are thinking about placing a bet on the upcoming UFC 305 pay-per-view (PPV) main event featuring middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and former titleholder Israel Adesanya, it’s important to note that Du Plessis won’t be focusing on wrestling against Adesanya next month at RAC Center in Perth, Western Australia.
Adesanya is currently the slight favorite in betting odds.
Du Plessis’ coach, Morne Visser, expressed, “We are ready to face Izzy in any way he chooses. We are fully prepared and confident. People expect Dricus to go for takedowns, but that’s not our strategy. We aim to outperform him in striking.”
After observing Adesanya’s struggle against Sean Strickland in UFC 293, Du Plessis is confident in his abilities in stand-up fighting. He believes that had he landed the same hits as Strickland did, the outcome of the fight would have been different.
With 19 finishes in 21 victories, Du Plessis is feeling positive as he looks forward to UFC 305.
