UFC 312 is set to make a splash in Sydney, Australia, on February 9, with an action-packed main card headlined by a highly anticipated middleweight championship rematch between Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland. This thrilling showdown will mark du Plessis’ second title defense after securing a submission victory over Israel Adesanya in August, extending his impressive 10-fight win streak. Du Plessis will look to defend his 185-pound title after a razor-close split decision win over Strickland in their first encounter.

Strickland, coming off a dominant win over Paulo Costa, has earned his shot at redemption and aims to capture the middleweight belt. The rematch promises fireworks, as both fighters have proven themselves to be among the best in the division, with du Plessis’ knockout power and Strickland’s pressure-fighting style making for an exciting clash.
In the co-main event, UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili will defend her title against undefeated challenger Tatiana Suarez. Suarez has been a force to be reckoned with since entering the UFC, earning seven consecutive victories despite dealing with significant injuries. She’ll be aiming to make history by becoming champion, but she faces a tough test in Zhang, who has won her last four bouts after a string of setbacks.
The main card of UFC 312 will also feature notable local talent, including Justin Tafa, Jimmy Crute, and Jake Matthews, all adding to the excitement. With a stacked lineup and high stakes, UFC 312 is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling events of the year. Fans won’t want to miss this action-packed night of world-class MMA.
