Following a solid slate of contests on the preliminary card, action at RAC Arena shifted to pay-per-view and business picked up straight away, making the UFC 305 main card one of the most entertaining of the year.
From a streaking rookie adding to his impressive start and a Top 10 heavyweight collecting a surprising split decision win to City Kickboxing representatives earning consecutive victories to set up the middleweight championship main event, the anticipation in the arena was palpable by the time the main event got underway.
But then Dricus Du Plessis made sure to prevent it from being a run of three straight, securing his first successful middleweight title defense, submitting Israel Adesanya in the fourth round to retain his title.
