Du Plessis has already had one title defense so far, forcing Israel Adesanya to tap out at UFC 305. The fighter out of South Africa has a career record of 22-2, with 20 wins coming by knockout or submission.

The UFC is headed to “Oz” for UFC 312. The main event is a highly-anticipated rematch title fight between South African Dricus Du Plessis (22-2-0) defending his middleweight championship belt against American Sean Strickland (29-6-0).

Two more title fights are on the horizon for UFC 312 as Dricus Du Plessis will put his middleweight belt on the line for a rematch against Sean Strickland in the main event. Plus, we’ll see Zhang Weili test herself against the undefeated wrestler Tatiana Suarez for the strawweight belt.
