Dricus Du Plessis (22:2) kept his middle weight world UFC title in a nearly lost fight against Israel Adesanya (24:4) in Australian.
Izi looked like he was coming back with a bang with his body shot tactics. He constantly pressured the South African and for sure won the first three rounds. But in the second half of the fourth one mistake cost him the bout.
Du Plessis landed some heavy shots and managed to take down his opponent. There he found his neck and locked the rear naked choke perfectly. That made Adesanya tap and we saw the first title defense for the champion.
