A Return to the Land Down Under
After an eventful year in 2023 with two successful UFC showcases in Australia, the anticipation for UFC 305 is palpable. The last time the UFC graced Australian soil was at UFC 293 in Sydney, where Sean Strickland sent shockwaves through the MMA world by dethroning the formidable Israel Adesanya to claim the middleweight crown. It was a night of upsets and surprises that left fans on the edge of their seats.
Fond Memories of UFC 284
Perth, in particular, holds a special place in UFC history, having hosted UFC 284 earlier in the year. The event witnessed an epic clash between Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev, a battle that went down in the annals of MMA lore as one of the most exhilarating encounters of 2023. Though Volkanovski fell short in his quest for a second title, his valiant performance earned him the respect and admiration of fight enthusiasts worldwide.
Local Heroes Take Center Stage
With UFC 305 on the horizon, speculation runs rampant regarding the lineup of fighters set to grace the octagon. Will we see a rematch between Adesanya and the current middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis? The tantalizing prospect of a showdown between these two titans has fans buzzing with excitement, wondering if du Plessis will dare to defend his title on foreign soil against the former champion.
Meanwhile, the resilient Jack Della Maddalena, fresh off a stunning comeback victory over Gilbert Burns, stands as another compelling option for the Perth card.
