Dricus Du Plessis is getting ready to take on Israel Adesanya in a championship fight at UFC 305 on August 17. Du Plessis is focused on defeating Adesanya in a stand-up battle, according to his coach Morne Visser. Despite some rumors, Du Plessis isn’t looking to lean heavily on his wrestling skills. With 19 of his 21 career wins coming by way of finishes, Du Plessis has shown he can end fights no matter where they go.
On the flip side, Alex Pereira, also known as ‘Poatan,’ is supporting Adesanya to win the fight and regain the middleweight title for the third time. Pereira believes Adesanya has the necessary skills to keep his successful run in MMA going and is hoping for his victory in the upcoming bout in Perth.
