The UFC middleweight title stayed with South African champion Dricus Du Plessis . Du Plessis defended his belt this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 305 , submitting former champ Israel Adesanya by fourth-round rear-naked choke. It was the first title defense for Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) after he won the belt in January by dethroning Sean Strickland. On the other hand, this result left Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC), an all-time middleweight great, 1-3 in his past four outings. What does this result say about both men?
