Tuning in to last night’s UFC 305 headliner, former middleweight champion, has vowed to move back to his former stomping ground for one night only – in a title affair with Dricus du Plessis following his stunning win over common-foe, Israel Adesanya.

Headlining last night’s return ‘Downunder’, du Plessis defended his undisputed middleweight crown for the first time at UFC 305, submitting common-opponent, Adesanya with a spectacular fourth round win, landing a rear-naked choke stoppage.
