Adesanya vows to end Du Plessis’ career after trash talk ahead of UFC 305 showdown
Israel Adesanya has issued a stern warning to Dricus du Plessis ahead of their highly anticipated UFC 305 clash, promising to end his opponent’s career.
The tension between the fighters escalated during the pre-fight press conference, where emotions ran high due to their trash talk.
Adesanya, a former two-time middleweight champion, is seeking to reclaim his title in the upcoming bout in Perth, Western Australia.
The rivalry between the two fighters has been fueled by their African heritage, with du Plessis, who trains in South Africa, claiming to be the continent’s first true UFC champion.
This has not sat well with Adesanya, who hails from Nigeria but moved to New Zealand as a child.
The confrontation intensified when du Plessis implied that Adesanya grew up privileged.
Adesanya, visibly agitated, shot back, “You don’t even5 know anything about my story. I’m going to k*** your dreams.”
Despite the heated exchange, the fighters managed to maintain composure during the obligatory staredown.
The clash holds on Sunday morning by 3:00am West African time.
Du Plessis later downplayed the incident on social media, dismissing it as overblown.
As the fight approaches, the stakes are clear: Adesanya is determined to make history and reclaim his title, while du Plessis seeks to validate his controversial claims. The UFC 305 main event promises to be a battle of pride, legacy, and a shot at becoming the ultimate middleweight champion.
