Israel Adesanya’s coach saw positives out of his fight against UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis.
Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) was submitted by Du Plessis in their middleweight title fight, which headlined UFC 305 in Perth. Adesanya failed to regain his belt after an 11-month hiatus, but he had his moments before getting stopped in Round 4.
