Former UFC champion Israel Adesanya believes he will defeat Dricus Du Plessis by knockout.
The pair fight on August 18 at UFC 305 (live on ESPN+ PPV in the US), with the two-time middleweight champion looking to get back on course for another title challenge.
Adesanya is confident that he has the accuracy to emerge victorious when they face off
He told Stake.com: “Dricus Du Plessis is a guy who fights the way he fights, but he gets a lot of success, but it leaves him very vulnerable. When you fight a guy who is very precise and lethal like me, come on…
“The highlights will always be there. The way I fight will always produce highlights, and those are nice bonuses, but I don't look for them, they just show up.
“I think he’s going to shoot straight away. I doubt he’ll want to strike with me for too long. This is something that people always say, but I’ve shown before that I can wrestle too.
“It might not be how everyone else wrestles, but I can wrestle too, that’s why I ended up becoming world champion.”
