A few days ago, UFC CEO Dana White made an announcement of new main event fights for UFC 303, accidentally showing a board with the names of the fighters who will perform on August 17 in Perth, Australia at UFC 305.

According to the screenshot, Israel Adesanya will compete in the main event of the UFC 305 event. Earlier, middleweight division champion Dricus du Plessis said he agreed to fight Izzy, but doesn't understand why the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Other names on the board behind White are Song Yadong, Jack Della Maddalena, Steve Erceg and Drakkar Klose.
