Unbeaten in his past 10 fights and with a perfect 8-0 record in the UFC, Du Plessis has earned a reputation as one of the most feared middleweights on the planet. The South African is now seeking to silence any doubters by securing a definitive victory over Strickland, the man he beat via split decision to win the middleweight title 13 months ago.
The 31-year-old will certainly be full of confidence after inflicting a first-career submission loss on former UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya last time out. Strickland has also fought once since the first bout, but was far less impressive as he secured a split-decision victory over Paulo Costa.
Before the duo renew hostilities, there will be a packed card that includes Zhang Weili taking on Tatiana Suarez in the co-main event. Strawweight queen Zhang has earned four straight wins and has made consecutive title defences since reclaiming the belt towards the end of 2023.
The Chinese star will bid to remain top of the strawweight division but will face a tough challenge against American challenger Suarez who finally has the chance to challenge for UFC gold. The 34-year-old has a 10-0 record and has won her last two fights by submission.
