Israel Adesanya ’s coach saw positives out of his fight against UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis . Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) was submitted by Du Plessis in their middleweight title fight, which headlined UFC 305 in Perth. Adesanya failed to regain his belt after an 11-month hiatus, but he had his moments before getting stopped in Round 4. The momentum appeared to swing Adesanya’s way in Round 4, before Du Plessis tagged him with a big combination. Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) capitalized by jumping onto the submission, and City Kickboxing’s striking coach, Mike Angove, praised the champion for his will to win. “Israel showed that he’s quite capable of getting Dricus out of there,” Angove told Submission Radio .
