Dricus du Plessis and Israel Adesanya will debut custom fight shorts as they clash for the middleweight title in a highly anticipated main event at UFC 305 in Perth, with du Plessis defending his championship for the first time and Adesanya aiming to become a three-time champion.
Dricus du Plessis and Israel Adesanya will sport new looks when they clash for the middleweight title this weekend.
On Tuesday, the promotion revealed new custom fight shorts for the champion du Plessis, and Adesanya, the challenger — and two-time former champion. This announcement comes ahead of the main event of UFC 305 at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.
Check out the custom shorts for both athletes in the photo below.
Du Plessis and Adesanya have built up a heated rivalry over the past several months. It will all come to a head in a highly anticipated main event.
Du Plessis defends his championship for the first time since capturing the gold with a split decision victory over Sean Strickland at UFC 297 in January.
For Adesanya, he will look to become the first three-time champ in UFC’s middleweight division history. “The Last Stylebender” returns from the longest layoff of his pro career after dropping the 185-pound title to Strickland at UFC 293 this past September.
