It\u2019s because UFC Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and his UFC 305 opponent Israel Adesanya are two incredible kickboxers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Du Plessis lands more significant strikes per minute on average than any other middleweight in the UFC, while the proof of Adesanya\u2019s striking ability is that two-thirds of his wins happened by KO\/TKO, including one against Alex Pereira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"before-betting-on-du-plessis-vs-adesanya\">Before Betting on Du Plessis vs. Adesanya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dricus Du Plessis lands 6.49 significant strikes per minute, which is more than any other active middleweight in the UFC. He\u2019s 21-2 overall with 9 of those wins happening by KO\/TKO. What\u2019s interesting is that most of his wins happened by submission \u2013 10 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dricus Du Plessis defeated an entire Gracie Barra Team in a Quintet Match. <br><br>He hits a guillotine, a one-arm guillotine, a north-south choke and a D&#39;Arce Choke. <br><br>Won the other match on points. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TSnYyITepS\">pic.twitter.com\/TSnYyITepS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ocelot MMA (@Ocelot_MMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ocelot_MMA\/status\/1747018117354504374?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to his losses, one happened by knockout and one by submission, but neither of those were in the UFC. In fact, the South African is on a 9-win streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Israel Adesanya be the one to end his run? Izzy is a hell of a kickboxer with a 24-3 record and 16 wins by KO\/TKO. He\u2019s got no wins by submission, but also no losses by this method, as he\u2019s very good at keeping his distance and defending against takedowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, he\u2019s got a TD defense ratio of 77% and has only suffered one takedown in his last five fights. However, truth be told, he hasn\u2019t fought against a great wrestler in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"du-plessis-vs-adesanya-offshore-odds-pick\">Du Plessis vs. Adesanya Offshore Odds &amp; Pick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Fighter<\/th><th>Odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Dricus Du Plessis<\/td><td>+120<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Israel Adesanya<\/td><td>-140<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Du Plessis vs. Adesanya odds suggest Izzy is more likely to win, but our pick is the defending champ.
