Israel Adesanya thought he had Dricus Du Plessis right where he wanted him at UFC 305. Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) was submitted by middleweight champion Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 305 headliner in Perth, Australia. It was a back-and-forth fight up until Round 4, when Adesanya felt like the tide was shifting his way. However, Du Plessis was able to lunge forward with a combination before dragging Adesanya down and tapping him out with a rear-naked choke.
