Dricus Du Plessis retained his middleweight title at UFC 305 by submitting former champion Israel Adesanya in a back-and-forth encounter.

Though he was able to secure the tap in the fourth round, it was the striking from “Stillknocks” that led to the finish.

His unorthodox and sometimes reckless approach to moving through ranges whilst looking to land big punches found a home and hurt “The Last Stylebender” which was the beginning of the end.

On his YouTube channel, bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley gave his immediate reaction to the main event where he highlighted Du Plessis’ blitz assault and gave props to both men.

“DDP has some funny a** like blitzes that just looks so sloppy and weird but he connects somehow and they’re heavy f****** punches and Izzy did look good. He looked like he was in good shape, defended that good takedown a few times. Like he said, he made a few small little mistakes. I mean I thought he was winning a decision, close fight. DDP showed why he’s the champ.”

Sean O’Malley Believes Dricus Du Plessis vs Sean Strickland 2 Will Be Another Close Fight

In the aftermath of this past weekend’s event in Perth, it appears that the next time Du Plessis will be back inside the Octagon will be for his first rematch in the UFC.

The South African champion won the title by defeating Sean Strickland earlier this year in a split decision, that the American passionately believes he should have gotten.

O’Malley gave his thoughts on that fight having already seen how difficult it was to separate them at UFC 297.

“Sean Strickland is fighting the winner, we already knew that. DDP versus Sean Strickland 2, the first fight was very, very, very close, could have gave it to Sean Strickland. He was the champion at the time and I feel like if you’re going to beat the champ in a split decision, it’s got to be more dominant than that so that was a very, very close fight, that’s going to be a fun one to run back.”

“Suga” went on to say that he believes this particular match-up is won or lost by who performs better on that night due to their styles.

“I think those guys can fight 10 times, it’s a coin flip every time. I don’t think it’s going to be f****** one guy is going to dominate. Those two styles are just going to be whoever shows up better on that night.”

Sean Strickland calls for Dricus du Plessis rematch after UFC 305: ‘Time for war Dutchman’

Sean Strickland calls for Dricus du Plessis rematch after UFC 305: 'Time for war Dutchman' Former undisputed middleweight champion, Sean Strickland has already been pegged for a title rematch with Dricus du Plessis ahead…

Former undisputed middleweight champion, Sean Strickland has already been pegged for a title rematch with Dricus du Plessis ahead of UFC 305 overnight, however, now that the South African has prevailed, the ex-champion has made his feelings on an immediate rematch clear.

Strickland, the current number one ranked contender, most recently returned to winning ways in the co-main event of UFC 302 back in May in New Jersey, landing a decision win over former title challenger, Paulo Costa.

The win returned the former gold holder to winning-ways following a prior January loss to the above-mentioned, du Plessis at UFC 297 in January – in hugely controversial circumstances.

As for du Plessis, the Pretoria native continued his stunning, roughshod run through middleweight elites overnight in the main event of UFC 305 in Perth, settling his longstanding grudge with common-foe, Israel Adesanya.

Battling the City Kickboxing striker over the course of four rounds, du Plessis would land the first defense of the middleweight title – courtesy of a stunning rear-naked choke win, marking an end to their bitter feud in the wake of their matchup.

And while he has suggested a pairing with former champion and prior opponent, Robert Whittaker should come first, du Plessis has already been welcomed as a foe by a host of suitors – most notably, Sean Strickland.

“Time for war Dutchman,” Sean Strickland posted on his official X account in reaction to Dricus du Plessis’ win over Israel Adesanya at UFC 305.

Time for war Dutch man……

And while Strickland has welcomed a rematch with du Plessis, the undisputed middleweight kingpin has already been sought out by incumbent light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira – who has vowed to return to his old stomping ground of 185lbs to make good on a title fight with the South African.

Following claims this week from former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Sean Strickland which accused prominent mixed martial arts manager, Tiki Ghosn of engaging in inappropriate relationships, which included the assault of a woman on numerous occasions, as well as both encouraging and accepting sexual favors, the former claims more victims have come forward.

Strickland, the current number one ranked middleweight challenger, most recently featured on the main card of UFC 302 earlier this year in New Jersey, landing a unanimous decision win over Paulo Costa – which has since earned him a rematch with the victor of this weekend’s UFC 305 title fight between former foes, Dricus du Plessis, and Israel Adesanya.

However, earlier this week, the outspoken Strickland came forward – accusing the previously mentioned, Ghosn of assaulting a female fighter on numerous occasions, having spoken with the alleged victim’s father.

“So, Tiki, what I say to you is, if you want to sue me for slander, defamation – I’m not slandering you, I’m not making this up,” Sean Strickland said in a video released, claiming he had spoken to the alleged victim’s father. “This is what was told to me by the girl’s father. If you want to sue me, I will crowd fund this, and we will go to court, and I will fight you.”

Sean Strickland levels further accusations against Tiki Ghosn

However, while Ghosn has yet to comment on the accusations levelled against him, Strickland has now claimed further victims have spoken to him regarding the manger’s alleged misconduct.

“I have received a couple messages from girls who are very credible,” Sean Strickland posted on his official X account. “Really bad… Worse than I thought. If they want to stay in the shadows, I will respect that. But I am going to ask if I can share their messages with the UFC. Tiki, you don’t deserve the life you have.”

Nina Drama’s Bold Take on Sean Strickland Title Shot News

Nina-Marie Daniele is ready to see her favorite UFC fighter take back the middleweight title.

Daniele, also known by MMA fans as Nina Drama on social media has developed a close relationship with Sean Strickland in recent years. The two have routinely taken friendly digs at one another and even engaged in a Roman Candle battle that nearly saw ‘Tarzan’ lose a nipple.

Recently, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that Strickland is the next man in line for a title opportunity, likely facing the winner of his Saturday’s UFC 305 headliner between defending champion Dricus Du Plessis and two-time titleholder Israel Adesanya.

Reacting to the news, Daniele echoed one of Strickland’s sentiments when it comes to the fight game.

”To the death,” Daniele wrote in resonse to the news.

How did Nina Drama and Sean Strickland become such good friends?

As for how Daniele and Strickland came to be close friends, we’ll just let the model-turned-UFC interviewer explain.

“In the first interview we ever did, Sean called me a wh*re and said I slept with Jon Jones for the interview and I told him he gets a chub while sucking in the souls of his opponent by submitting them from behind. It’s been history ever since. The two most unlikely people to become friends LOL. @SStricklandMMA is a real one!”

Strickland first claimed the middleweight title with a lights-out performance against Adesanya at UFC 293 last September. Unfortunately, his reign would be cut short after Du Plessis landed a razor-close split decision win over Strickland in January to take the belt back to South Africa.

Failing to lobby for an immediate rematch, ‘Tarzan’ was paired up with perennial contender Paulo Costa at UFC 302 in June. Though the scorecards were once again split, the consensus had Strickland clearly winning the fight and solidifying his spot as the division’s No. 1 ranked contender.

Aljamain Sterling has broken his silence regarding the recent accusations levied against fighter-turned-manager Tiki Ghosn.

Earlier this week, former middleweight titleholder Sean Strickland dropped a bombshell on social media, claiming that an unidentified woman has accused Ghosn of abusing her. Few other details have emerged, but Strickland has doubled down on the accusation, claiming that other women have reached out to him with their own claims.

“I have received a couple messages from girls who are very credible. Really bad,” Strickland wrote following his initial accusation. “Worse than I thought If they want to stay in the shadows I will respect that But I am going to ask them if I can share their messages with the UFC Tiki you don’t deserve the life you have….”

Ghosn, who operates Arsenal Sports Agency, has and continues to work with some of the biggest names in MMA, including Dustin Poirier and Chael Sonnen. Ghosn also represents former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling who recently offered a response to the accusations after being inundated with inquiries online.

“I’m receiving a lot of messages on social media regarding my management,” Sterling wrote on X. “I can 100% confirm that I learned of the accusations this week. I don’t have all the information but this is not a reflection of me, in any form.”

Neither Ghosn nor Arsenal Sports Agency have responded to the accusations.

Aljamain Sterling focused on his return to the octagon in October

After climbing to the top of the mountain at 135, Sterling made the move to featherweight at UFC 300, earning a dominant victory over Calvin Kattar. Next, the ‘Funk Master’ will meet No. 6 ranked contender Movsar Evloev at UFC 307 in October.

With a win, Sterling could very well be the next man in line for a shot at the weight class’ top dog, Ilia Topuria.

Tiki Ghosn has yet to respond to Sean Strickland’s accusations

In a further post from Strickland, the outspoken former undisputed middleweight champion has hit out at the media for an apparent blackout in coverage regarding his accusations levelled at Ghosn.
