Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to the pay-per-view (PPV) market for the upcoming UFC 312 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, headlined by the middleweight title fight between reigning 185-pound kingpin, Dricus Du Plessis, and former division titleholder, Sean Strickland.
The action takes place this Sunday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, but airs Sat. night (Feb. 8) in most markets due to the discrepancy in time zones.
UFC 312 also features a strawweight co-headliner pitting 115-pound champion, Zhang Weili, opposite unbeaten division contender Tatiana Suarez, as well as the heavyweight collision showcasing local hero, Justin Tafa, against Brazilian interloper, Tallison Teixeira.
