UFC 305 live results: Dricus Du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya

The UFC returns to Perth, Australia, for tonight’s UFC 305 pay-per-view from the RAC Arena.

The main event is a much-anticipated battle for the UFC middleweight championship as current titleholder Dricus Du Plessis battles former champion Israel Adesanya. Du Plessis is coming off a title win over Sean Strickland at UFC 297 in January while Adesanya returns for the first time in nearly a year. He lost the title to Strickland last September, and is now looking to become a three-time middleweight champion.

In the co-main event, former flyweight title challengers Kai Kara-France and Steve Erceg square off. Also on the main card is a lightweight bout between Mateusz Gamrot and Dan Hooker, as well as a heavyweight slugfest between Tai Tuivasa and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. A welterweight bout pitting Li Jingliang against Carlos Prates kicks off the main card.
