Darren Till tells Adesanya to 'stand your ground' against champ du Plessis.
The middleweight strap is up for grabs in the main event of UFC 305 as Adesanya returns against the defending champion Du Plessis in Perth, Australia. Some have come close, but nobody's been able to beat Du Plessis inside the UFC Octagon, where the South African fighter has gone 7-0., Du Plessis defeated former title welterweight challenger Darren Till at UFC 282 in 2022.
"As he rushes in also do what you did against rob and I did the same. Urs knocked rob out as where as mine didn’t but still same same. DDP will rush in," Till said of Du Plessis. "Instead of standing back or going back like most of these silly stupid strikers do. Stand ur ground and just hit him with either again the punch combo or even a knee up the middle. I personally love the elbow as they are lunging in but it’s whatever suits at that time and whatever you have practiced.
Lots of feints… he reacts to them so much and throws from the hills. Then you can step back. Have a look and either for for the punch combo or knee maybe a kick.Some believe Du Plessis will try to put pressure on Adesanya and not leave him much space, just as Sean Strickland did last September to win the title in a dominant decision... which is why Till wants Adesanya to stand more of his ground this time around.
Israel Adesanya doesn't believe Dricus Du Plessis will want to stand with him for long, but this gameplan may be DDP's key to victory across five rounds.
