UFC 305: Du Plessis forces Adesanya to tap, retains title #MMATwitter #MMA #ufc305

In his first title defense, Dricus du Plessis forced Israel Adesanya to tap in the fourth-round as a locked in rear-naked choke brings the middleweight title back to South Africa.

Adesanya looked to be in control of the match, as his striking kept Du Plessis at bay for much of the match. However, continued flurries from the champion opened up an opportunity to take Adesanya down, which resulted in the win.
