Is there anything more exhilarating than a championship fight?
Two title fights have been announced for UFC 312 on February 8th! The main event will feature Dricus du Plessis taking on Sean Strickland in a rematch after their thrilling first encounter. As we watch the calendar turn to 2025, it’s time to consider what kind of contenders might arise in the coming year. We’ll have two championship bouts in January at UFC 311 in Inglewood, California, followed by two more in February when the promotion travels to Sydney, Australia. Dricus du Plessis vs Sean Strickland 2 will be the main event. Will we see anything beyond a rematch?
The first time these fighters met was a fight for the ages—close, competitive, and with every round bringing new twists and turns. Many have been eagerly anticipating this rematch ever since, demanding that it go down again.
In the co-main event, Zhang Weili will defend her strawweight title against Tatiana Suarez in what promises to be a battle of titans. For those unfamiliar with Suarez, she’s one of the most intriguing young prospects in women’s MMA. A victory here would cement her status as a force to be reckoned with.
The UFC is off to a great start in 2025! With four title fights already on the books for the first two months of the year, it seems they’re well-equipped for a spectacular new year.
