Adesanya reflects on past losses, eyes UFC 305 redemption.

Israel Adesanya’s Anticipated Return

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya is set to make his highly anticipated comeback at UFC 305. The 35-year-old fighter will face the reigning middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis, in the event’s main bout. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Adesanya opened up about his mindset going into this critical title match.

“What drives me right now is the desire to showcase myself. I’m an entertainer, an artist. I’m a guy who steps in there and gets the job done. When I don’t, it frustrates me. I wasn’t really myself in my last fight; I just want to show who I am. I want to prove to myself that I’m still at the top, and I know I am. I trust myself,” Adesanya stated.

Du Plessis, on the other hand, comes into this fight with momentum, having secured a victory against Strickland at UFC 297 earlier this year.
