Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski of Australia believes New Zealander Israel Adesanya will be able to win over South African Dricus du Plessis in their upcoming fight.
Low Kick MMA website quotes Volkanovski as saying:
I'm expecting a performance from Israel Adesanya, a proper performance like you've seen [in] the Paulo Costa [fight] where he goes out and just does it in impressive fashion. I feel like something big is coming, I mean a big finish - highlight real Izzy... That type of finish that we're going to see, which is going to be huge and puts him right back where he was not that long ago.
Recall, this fight will headline UFC 305, which will take place on August 17 at the RAC Arena in Perth, Aust🉐ralia.
Adesanya has not stepped into the octagon siꦑnce September 2023, when he lost to Sean Strickland by unanimous decision at UFC 293. He has 24 wins and three los❀ses on his record.
