UFC schedule, fight cards, start times, odds, how to watch UFC 312: Dricus du Plessis vs. Sean Strickland 2
UFC 312 is next up on the MMA calendar and will feature a title rematch, highly anticipated or not, between middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis and former champion Sean Strickland. The action goes down Saturday inside Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Their first fight at UFC 297 in January 2024 ended in a razor-thin split decision victory for du Plessis, which generated plenty of controversy and set the stage for the rematch. Both fighters have much to prove — du Plessis seeks to further legitimize his title reign and Strickland is out for redemption.
The co-main event will see strawweight champion Zhang Weili defend her belt against the undefeated Tatiana Suarez, adding another championship battle to the card.
