Results
After a solid series of contests on the preliminary card, the action moved to pay-per-view at the RAC Arena and business immediately picked up, making the UFC 305 main card one of the most entertaining of the year.
From a promising rookie to his impressive debut and surprising split decision win among the top 10 heavyweights to racking up back-to-back wins to earn a spot in the main event of the Middleweight Championship at the City Kickboxing Representatives, it came time to main event the field.
But then Draculas du Plessis made sure to make it three consecutive runs, making his first successful middleweight title defense, knocking out Israel Adesanya in the fourth round to retain his title.
Card
Carlos Prates continued his excellent rookie campaign in the UFC by becoming the first man to knock out Chinese veteran Li Jingliang in the UFC 305 main card.
“The Nightmare” displayed his excellent striking throughout, happily getting into the pocket to exchange strikes with the returning Lee from the start. After hitting him several times in the first half, Prats remained aggressive in the second, patiently driving the ball with his left hand before firing a penalty shot that found its mark and missed Canavé.
