The promotion’s first ever all-African title fight co-headlines the card when UFC 305 visits the RAC Arena in Perth.
Two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is aiming to win the belt again from Dricus du Plessis, who is on a run of nine straight wins.
Nigerian-New Zealander Adesanya and South African Du Plessis have been involved in an acrimonious build-up, and their chief support fight will pit New Zealand’s Kai Kara-France against Australian Steve Erceg at flyweight.
Here’s when the card starts, how to tune in and the line-up for UFC 305.
