Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland are set to battle it out this weekend in Australia and settle their rematch at UFC 312. Du Plessis is looking to defeat Strickland for the second time as he won a razor thin matchup at UFC 297 via split decision. Many called the matchup controversial as Strickland out-struck the South African as many described his loss as a “robbery.” Since then Strickland held his No. 1 contender rank by defeating Paulo Costa while Du Plessis defended his belt against the legend, Israel Adesanya.
