A middleweight title rematch headlines UFC 312 tonight, as Dricus Du Plessis defends the gold against the man he dethroned: Sean Strickland. In January 2024, Du Plessis took the title from Strickland via split decision, winning a brutal encounter in Canada. Now the pair prepare to meet in Australia, as Strickland looks to end Du Plessis’s historic reign. Du Plessis’s victory over the controversial American made him South Africa’s first UFC champion, and that result gave way to a submission of former title holder Israel Adesanya in August. Meanwhile, Strickland bounced back in June, outpointing Paulo Costa to earn a rematch with Du Plessis.
Headlining the UFC 312 prelims will be Jack Jenkins vs. Gabriel Santos.
A standout on Dana White's Contender Series in 2022, Jenkins (13-3) won two straight in the octagon before suffering an arm injury in September 2023 against Jose Mariscal. The Aussie returned in August and beat Herbert Burns via retirement. Jenkins looks for a ranked number next to his name with a win.
Santos (11-2) lost his first two UFC fights following a run in LFA. The Brazilian earned his first octagon win in September against Yi Zha.
Brisbane's Tom Nolan (8-1) is on a two-fight win streak. The DWCS alum, with five wins via knockout, faces Viacheslav Borshchev (8-4), who is 1-1-1 in his last three fights.
Wang Cong faces Bruna Brasil. Wang (6-1) is a multi-time Sanda medalist who was a standout on season three of Road to UFC. She has gone 1-1 since her debut fight. Brasil (10-4) is a DWCS standout that has gone 2-2 in the octagon since her debut on the program. "The Special One" beat Molly McCann in her last fight in July.
Finally, Colby Thicknesse faces Aleksandre Topuria. Born in Windang, Thicknesse (7-0) won the 2020 Oceania Open Championships. He makes his UFC debut after winning four fights in 2024, with three straight ending in the first round.
Topuria (5-1) is the brother of UFC champion Ilia Topuria. He's on a three-fight win streak heading into his UFC debut.
