Summary

How does Dricus du Plessis keep doing this shit, man? This is a guy who fights like he’s in PRIDE in like 2005. He rushes in, throwing them haymakers, seemingly just hoping for the best — and somehow it’s still working for him. This he proved Saturday at UFC 305, defeating Israel Adesanya via fourth round submission (!) to retain his middleweight title. It really and truly boggles the mind. Plus, Carlos Prates looks like a bad man and Ariel Helwani is on the move. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast, and now your hosts, Ben Folks and Chad Dundas.

1:16.5	to retain the UFC Middleweight Championship.
1:19.0	If ever, there was a big glaring signpost that it's probably time to stop doubting DDP.
1:26.6	This was it.
1:28.4	And yet,
1:30.0	when I watch this guy,
1:32.0	the only thing I can think is
1:34.0	this shouldn't work.
