Former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya had the opportunity to become a three-time titleholder when he took on champion Dricus du Plessis in the UFC 305 main event. It wasn’t to be for “The Last Stylebender.” It was a hard-fought, back and forth battle with du Plessis coming on strong in the fourth round to finish Adesanya via submission. After hurting Adesanya with a punch, du Plessis quickly took the former champion’s back and locked on a rear-naked choke. Adesanya was forced to tap out. Following the loss, Adesanya spoke with commentator Daniel Cormier inside the octagon and vowed to return. ”I’m not f***ing leaving,” he said.
