Sean Strickland can’t figure out how a guy who seemingly does everything wrong inside the Octagon keeps winning.
When Dricus Du Plessis heads to Sydney, Australia this weekend for the UFC’s second pay-per-view of 2025, he’ll look to score his second successful defense of the middleweight title by beating the same man he defeated to take the crown last year.

Du Plessis, undeniably one of the most unconventional fighters on the UFC roster, goes into his UFC 312 headliner against Sean Strickland boasting an impressive 8-0 record inside the Octagon.
