Israel Adesanya Gears Up for UFC 305 with Increased Size and Strength
Two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has significantly bulked up for his upcoming title fight against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 305 in Perth.
Teammate Dan Hooker revealed that Adesanya, now weighing around 105 kilos, has gained substantial muscle during his recovery from injuries.
Adesanya, aiming to reclaim the middleweight title and become the division’s first three-time champion, will face Du Plessis on August 17.
Du Plessis, who won the middleweight belt from Sean Strickland at UFC 297, is known for his aggressive style and undefeated streak since 2018.
Adesanya’s increased size and power could be crucial in his bid to regain the title and cement his legacy.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has lowered the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, to N825 per litre, down from N835, as competition heats up in Nigeria’s fuel market.
This follows last month’s price reduction, when the 650,000 barrels per day refinery dropped the price from N865 to N835. The recent price change is aimed at providing more value to customers while strengthening Dangote’s position as a leader in the domestic market.
The Obidient Movement has fired back at Omoyele Sowore over his recent comments downplaying Peter Obi’s role as an opposition figure. Sowore, speaking on Channels TV’s Inside Sources, had said Peter Obi shouldn’t be considered part of the opposition, claiming the Labour Party candidate hasn’t taken a stand against the Tinubu administration and stayed silent on issues like fuel price hikes.
But in response, Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, said Obi remains one of the most talked-about figures in Nigerian politics, proving his influence and relevance. “If he’s not a real opposition, why does everyone keep talking about him?” Tanko asked. “The truth is, without mentioning Peter Obi, none of them gets attention. Everything he says or does becomes headline news.”
He also criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio for bringing up Obi’s name during a tribute event, accusing him of using the moment for character attacks rather than addressing national issues. “Instead of focusing on policies, they’re attacking Peter Obi’s character,” Tanko said. “They should let him keep doing what he does best — standing up to the system for the sake of the Nigerian people. That’s what he’s committed to, and that’s what we’ll keep supporting.”
