The 30-year-old South African champion deployed his typical unusual strategy in opposition to Adesanya, working in off-rhythm bursts of stress and offence regardless of trying fatigued on the way in which to carrying down and in the end ending “The Last Stylebender.”
It was one other spectacular exhibiting from Du Plessis, who showcased his potential to shift momentum in a flash by ending the competition within the fourth after Adesanya clearly obtained the higher of issues within the third.
He barrelled ahead behind looping hooks that discovered the goal and put the previous champion on all-fours on the canvas, the place a momentary pause was all the chance Du Plessis wanted to climb on Adesanya’s again, lace up a rear-naked choke, and draw out the faucet.

The victory not solely solidified the Group CIT consultant’s place atop the division whereas transferring him to 8-0 within the Octagon and increasing his general successful streak to double digits, however it additionally arrange a rematch with Sean Strickland, the person he bested for the title in January.
Previous to the occasion, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that Strickland was subsequent in line to face the winner, which means a championship rematch was assured both means, because the polarizing American had first claimed the title by upsetting Adesanya final September. Du Plessis successful units up the extra intriguing of the 2 sequels, as he and Strickland battled tooth-and-nail at first of the yr, with Du Plessis touchdown on the pleased facet of a break up resolution verdict and strolling away as the brand new champion.
Strickland has since rebounded with a victory over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 in June, successful by break up resolution in a battle that had no enterprise being scored a break up resolution, as most observers had the previous champion successful handily.
The rematch, which is likely to happen earlier than the yr is out, ought to as soon as once more be charming as there are clear areas the place every can enhance from their preliminary encounter and their ability units mesh in a means that feels assured to supply a aggressive, participating battle regardless of how lengthy it goes or who emerges victorious.
Dana White’s Contender Series
Watch the newest season of Dana White’s Contender Series Tuesday nights on Sportsnet 360 and Sportsnet+, as fighters look to earn a UFC contract.
As mentioned previous to UFC 305, the middleweight division goes to be front-and-center over the following a number of months, with a lot of key fights on the schedule. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see how these contests play out and the reverberations they ship all through the divisional ranks earlier than Du Plessis and Strickland run it again, particularly as a result of the potential of a trilogy battle between the 2 in 2025 isn’t troublesome to check.
Their first assembly was ultra-close and if Strickland attracts stage within the rematch, a 3rd bout between the championship rivals is all however assured of occurring.
Du Plessis’s win at UFC 305 was the primary time in 5 middleweight title fights that the champion has retained, and if he can accomplish that once more each time he and Strickland face off for a second time, a brand new period will certainly daybreak within the 185-pound ranks.
And if he can’t, at the least we’ll be assured of one other entertaining championship whereas we look ahead to issues to clear up and begin transferring ahead.
MATCHUPS TO MAKE FOR ADDITIONAL UFC 305 WINNERS
Kai Kara-France registered an emotional first-round stoppage win over current title challenger Steve Erceg within the co-main occasion to thrust himself proper again into the thick of the title dialog within the flyweight division. You can throw him right into a championship bout with Alexandre Pantoja, who’s but to have his subsequent matchup introduced, however a extra likely situation is for the 31-year-old New Zealander to run it again with Amir Albazi in one other five-round battle to find out which one stays within the queue to problem for championship gold in 2025.
Dan Hooker advised Daniel Cormier, “I want it all, Bubba!” following his break up resolution win over Mateusz Gamrot in UFC 305’s Battle of the Night time, and “The Hangman” must be assured of one thing good after registering his third straight win. How a couple of five-round characteristic bout with Justin Gaethje on the primary card of UFC 309 in New York Metropolis or UFC 310 at first of December in Las Vegas?
Jairzinho Rozenstruik averted getting right into a slugfest with Tai Tuivasa and consequently, picked up his second win of the yr, marking the primary time he’s gained consecutive contests contained in the Octagon since incomes 4 straight wins in his rookie marketing campaign again in 2019. Entrenched within the Prime 15, a Battle Night time essential occasion in opposition to the winner of the upcoming conflict between Derrick Lewis and Alexandr Romanov in Edmonton looks like an apparent subsequent step.
Carlos Prates posted his third straight stoppage win, changing into the primary particular person to complete Li Jingliang with strikes. “The Nightmare” referred to as for a matchup with Khaos Williams subsequent and who am I to argue in opposition to two heavy hitters sharing the Octagon in a matchup that’s assured to be fireworks later this yr?
If Valter Walker desires to maintain combating members of the Tafa household, the UFC ought to let him preserve combating members of the Tafa household. Justin Tafa could also be coming off a loss, however he doesn’t have a battle booked and coming to avenge his youthful brother feels just like the type of task he would absolutely be up for within the not too distant future.

All of that sounds nice save for the inclusion of Tucker, who hasn’t fought in over a yr, has suffered back-to-back first-round stoppage losses, earned his final at UFC 256 on the finish of 2020 and should have PTSD from the final time he competed in Edmonton in opposition to Ricky Glenn all the way in which again at UFC 215. As an alternative, let’s do Jenkins and Hyder Amil, who earned his second win of 2023 only a couple weeks again, is unbeaten in 10 professional fights, and at 34 years outdated, must step on the gasoline slightly if he’s hoping to make a push in direction of the rankings within the 145-pound ranks.
Tune Kenan cemented his standing as a tricky out in the course of the welterweight division win his win over Rick Glenn. He’s hoping to compete in November when the UFC returns to Macau for the primary time in a decade, the place a pairing with Trey Waters would function check for the 9-1 welterweight prospect who has earned victories in every of his first two UFC appearances.
After choking out Stewart Nicoll within the opener to run his successful streak to 3, Jesus Aguilar introduced that he didn’t need to battle once more till March, which is only a bizarre transfer once you’re coming off a first-round submission win. An excessive amount of will change between from time to time within the flyweight division for me to supply up a possible pairing, so I’ll simply say, “Enjoy your holidays” to Aguilar, and thanks for studying to all of you that obtained this far.
See you after UFC 306!
