For those who remember their first fight at UFC 297 , Strickland lost his middleweight title in a razor-close split decision. This time, Du Plessis left no doubt, proving that he’s the true king of the division. After the fight, he made it clear he’s looking for his next big challenge, calling out Alex Pereira , who was watching from cageside alongside Israel Adesanya. However, welterweight champion Belal Muhammad also hinted at wanting a shot at the middleweight belt.
The co-main event was just as exciting, with Zhang Weili successfully defending her strawweight title against Tatiana Suarez . Zhang put on a clinic, dominating both on the feet and on the ground, handing Suarez the first loss of her professional MMA career. Many had doubted Zhang coming into this fight, but she proved once again that she is one of the most dangerous women in the sport.
Elsewhere on the card, there were plenty of highlight moments. Talisson Teixeira delivered a brutal elbow KO over Justin Tafa , Jimmy Crute and Rodolfo Bellato fought to an intense majority draw, and Quillan Salkilld made a statement with a first-round knockout in just 19 seconds!
With UFC 312 now in the books, the big question remains—who’s next for Du Plessis? Will Pereira step up? Will Adesanya look for redemption? Or will someone unexpected throw their name in the mix? One thing is for sure: the middleweight division has never been more exciting!
