The Octagon is heading Down Under as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lands in Australia with a highly anticipated fight card, featuring two championship fights and some of the biggest names in MMA. On February 8, 2025, fans will witness an exciting night of non-stop action at the Qudos Bank Arena.
The main event pits reigning UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis against former champion Sean Strickland in a title rematch. Du Plessis successfully claimed the belt via a split decision at UFC 297 and now looks to silence the doubters as he defends his title against Strickland’s relentless pressure and striking.
In the co-main event, strawweight queen Zhang Weili defends her belt against top contender Tatiana Suarez. The two fighters represent different styles of MMA, with Weili showcasing elite striking and incredible durability, while Suarez brings an undefeated grappling background to the table.
UFC 312 promises to be a thrilling night of MMA as these champions face off in high-stakes matchups. Will Du Plessis cement his legacy by defeating Strickland, or will the former champion reclaim his throne? Can Weili continue her reign or will Suarez’s relentless takedowns bring her first UFC championship?
The event is available to stream live on ESPN+ PPV, with kickoff set for 10:00 PM ET. Fans can also catch the preliminary bouts and interviews with fighters like Paige VanZant and Dricus du Plessis.
