Fight fans have been looking forward to UFC 305, and the MMA Knockout on SI team is here to whet your appetite with main card predictions.
There are a lot of questions surrounding this Saturday's pay-per-view event from the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. Many are wondering if Israel Adesanya can prove that he's still an elite 185-pounder, while others are questioning how long the awkward style of Dricus du Plessis can remain feasible at the highest of levels.
We'll also see if Steve Erceg can take what he learned in his highly competitive title fight against Alexandre Pantoja to get to the next gear. Standing in his way will be Kai Kara-France. There are three other main card fights to get into, so let's jump right in with our UFC 305 predictions.Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya - for the UFC Middleweight Championship
Israel Adesanya watches on as Dricus Du Plessis has his post-fight interview following a UFC bout. / .: I won't discredit Sean Strickland's victory over "Izzy" because he was as sharp as he's ever been on that night, but it's safe to say Adesanya was off. The timing just wasn't what we're used to seeing from "The Last Stylebender." One thing Strickland did well was avoid the kicks of Adesanya, but I'm not so sure Du Plessis will be that elusive.
