UFC 312 Staff Picks

By on February 8, 2025

UFC 312 is set to take place on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The event features a compelling main card lineup, headlined by a Middleweight Championship rematch between Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland.

Dricus du Plessis (22–2) enters the octagon as the reigning Middleweight Champion, bringing a 10-fight win streak into this highly anticipated rematch. Sean Strickland (29–6), the former champion, aims to reclaim his title after a split decision loss to du Plessis at UFC 297.

The co-main event sees a strawweight championship bout between Zhang Weili and Tatiana Suarez.

Zhang Weili (25–3) is a two-time Strawweight Champion, known for her well rounded striking and grappling skills, defends her title for the third time. Tatiana Suarez (10–0) is undefeated in her professional career. Injuries have halted her career on many occasions but Suarez proves a difficult test for Weili in what should be an intriguing fight.

Other fights on the card include a heavyweight bout with Justin Tafa and Talisson Teixeira, Jimmy Crute going up against Rodolfo Bellato in a potential banger and a welterweight clash between Jake Matthews and Francisco Prado.
