Results and highlights from UFC 305, which saw Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya square off in the main event.

The UFC middleweight championship wasn't built for Dricus du Plessis, he took it by force. That honor seemed reserved for Khamzat Chimaev, whom many deemed a future champion early on. Maybe that's why Du Plessis is a betting underdog at UFC 319 in Chicago.

The UFC recently signed a broadcast deal with Paramount+ that will average $1.1 billion annually, dwarfing the MMA powerhouse’s previous ESPN agreement ($550

The UFC inked a landmark seven-year, $7.7 billion deal to move to Paramount starting in 2026, which includes the end of the traditional pay-per-view model.
