“Going To Smoke This Fool”- Israel Adesanya Sends A Menacing Warning To Dricus Du Plessis Ahead Of UFC 305
Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya
Israel Adesanya, the former two-time Middleweight champion, is ready to reclaim his throne. The stage is set for an electrifying showdown at UFC 305 this weekend. “The Last Stylebender” isn’t just returning to the Octagon; he’s bringing a storm of determination and a dash of his signature swagger.
This isn’t just another fight for Adesanya. It’s a chance at redemption, a shot at history. The Nigerian-born Kiwi fighter has been absent from the cage since September 2023. That night, he suffered a shocking upset loss to Sean Strickland. Now, he’s back with a vengeance, and Du Plessis is in his crosshairs.
His confidence is palpable, reminiscent of the Israel Adesanya fans know and love. But there’s something different this time – a hunger born from his time away. This layoff, Adesanya admits, was the longest in his fighting career. But he sees it as a blessing in disguise.
The break seems to have rejuvenated the former champ. He spoke of reaffirming himself and rediscovering his passion for the sport, a stark contrast to the defeated fighter fans saw after the Strickland bout. As the clock ticks down to UFC 305, one question remains: Will it be a triumphant return for Adesanya, or will Du Plessis retain his crown?
Dricus Du Plessis Is Confident That Israel Adesanya Is Psyching Himself Out

The anticipation for this middleweight title bout has been building for months. Fight fans have been eagerly awaiting the clash between these two stellar athletes. Now, with the fight just days away, Du Plessis has fired a verbal shot across Adesanya’s bow. The South African champion believes his opponent is battling more than just an external foe. According to Du Plessis, Adesanya’s toughest opponent might be himself.
“Well I think, if I’m in his head, maybe not, but I do know he’s in his own head, that’s for sure,” Du Plessis claimed.
.This statement comes in response to Adesanya’s claims about his preparation for the fight. The former champion has stated that this is his first camp as a “real athlete”. However, Du Plessis is questioning this. However, all the questions will be answered this weekend in Perth.
