UFC 305: Adesanya vs. Du Plessis—Fight Card, Start Times, and Streaming Info
Following the massive success of UFC 304, where Leon Edwards defended his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad, UFC is gearing up for another thrilling pay-per-view event. At UFC 304, Muhammad shocked fans by dominating Edwards in all five rounds, both on the ground and on his feet. A standout moment was Muhammad slamming Edwards onto his head, though Edwards tried to fight back with elbows, ultimately falling short as Muhammad was crowned the new welterweight champion.
Now, UFC 305 is set to bring even more excitement as former WWE middleweight champion Israel Adesanya faces off against the newly crowned UFC middleweight champ Dricus Du Plessis, who secured the title by defeating Sean Strickland in January. Strickland, who had previously taken the middleweight belt from Adesanya, has recently won against Paulo Costa and is guaranteed a title shot against the UFC 305 victor.
Building on the success of UFC 304, held in the UK, UFC 305 will take place in Australia. The event will be held at the RAC Arena in Perth on August 18, 2024, with a lineup featuring many Australian fighters.
