UFC 312 on Saturday marks the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Sydney for essentially a two-fight show at Qudos Bank Arena. With a lot of top Australian and New Zealander talent bolstering other cards, this bill is carried by two title bouts, neither of which has ties to Oceania. Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland run back a fun middleweight title clash from early last year, while women’s strawweight champion Weili Zhang gets a particularly intriguing test in the form of Tatiana Suarez. There’s not much intrigue beyond the main event and co-main event, though at the very least some fights at 205 pounds and above are matched for entertainment.
