On Saturday night, UFC fans get another exciting and hard-hitting pay-per-view, with the main event featuring the 31-year-old middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (22-2-0) out of South Africa, going up against American loudmouth and former champion Sean Strickland (29-6-0).
The two rivals faced off once before, just over a year ago on Jan. 20, 2024, in a split-decision victory by Du Plessis. By winning that bout, Du Plessis took the middleweight championship belt away from Strickland.
Now, Strickland gets his chance at revenge and to get his title back, making Saturday night’s UFC 312 dramatic and having a lot at stake. You won’t want to miss out if you are a UFC fan.
