The card was loaded with Australians and featured an interesting main event: middleweight champion Draculas du Plessis defending his title for the first time against former champion Israel Adesanya, with the crowd behind him.
Where is from
Adesanya was born in Lagos, Nigeria, the eldest of five children.
