Adesanya shared news of the fight on social media Monday, but the UFC hasn’t officially announced the bout yet. UFC 305 will be held in Perth, Australia, where Adesanya is a fan favorite. Adesanya resides and trains in Auckland, New Zealand.
Du Plessis, 30, captured the middleweight title from Sean Strickland at UFC 297 in January. The South African champion has been embroiled in a multiyear feud with Adesanya, dating back to Du Plessis’ comments about wanting to become, “the African fighter in the UFC.”
"Never stole shine, never lost mine," reads the caption on the graphic Adesanya posted with the fight date of August 17 listed.
UFC president Dana White confirmed the fight during an appearance on The Jim Rome Show on Monday.
Adesanya -- who resides in nearby Auckland, New Zealand -- hasn't fought since he dropped the title in a stunning upset to Sean Strickland last September. After the loss, Adesanya suggested that he might not compete again until 2027, a stance he has since backed off on.
The two-time middleweight champion's hiatus will last less than a year, and Adesanya will jump right back into the title picture against one of his biggest rivals in Du Plessis.

Interesting to hear Rob's take as he fought both.
-
Izzy was my favourite and probably still is my favourite fighter in the UFC, but I’m from South Africa and we support our boys… with that being Said DDP all the way 🇿🇦
-
The amount of time searching and editing it must take you to find all these separate training clips overlaid with interviews audio. The attention to detail to make sure to include all the faces and names of the speakers pop up on screen. At 5:54, not sure if that clip you pulled from already had that on the TV or if you added it, but a great little detail. Really great job!
-
Let's be honest, this one's gonna be hard for both it's going to turn awkward and messy - a real brawl and I would 100% put my money on DDP in a bar fight against Izzy.
-
Adesanya will make quick work of this. People are so quick to forget Adesanyas dominance. The disrespect is crazy.
-

DDP is the underdog as usual, he will win as usual - we like the odds that way, GO Dricus!!!!
-
Nice work
-
DDP is awesome, but I kinda have no idea why. When I watch him, he doesn't look clean or effective. A lot of wasted energy and big reaches but NOBODY else fights like he does and it seems to catch everyone off guard. I'm looking forward to this one, either way it goes down!
-
