Dricus Du Plessis retained his middleweight title in a back-and-forth war with former champion Israel Adesanya in the UFC 305 main event. The middleweight title headliner at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, was filled with intense moments. However, in Round 4, Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) found his way onto the back of Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) to force a tap from a rear-naked choke at 3:38.
