Perth hosts a stacked UFC 305 card headlined by a middleweight title blockbuster between Dricus du Plessis (21-2) and Israel Adesanya (24-3).
Can Adesanya become a three-time champion at 185-pounds or will the du Plessis era kick off in earnest with a maiden defence of his belt?
In the co-main, local favourite Steve Erceg looks to bounce back from his narrow flyweight title defeat to Alexandre Pantojo when he faces hard-hitting former title challenger Kai Kara-France in a trans-Tasman showdown.
