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.
