The UFC is set to return this weekend following a long hiatus and that means that fight fans can start to get excited about some of the events that are on the horizon.
One of those cards sees the promotion make its return to Sydney, Australia with the poster for UFC 312 recently dropping via social media.
The first PPV card of 2025 is set to take place on January 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles but after that, it's time for another trip down under.
Pictured front and center on the poster are the two middleweights that will top the bill at the Qudos Bank Arena on February 8.
Dricus Du Plessis will look to defend the 185-pound title against former titleholder Sean Strickland in a rematch of their first encounter from UFC 297 in January of 2024.
The main event is spotlighted on the poster alongside one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, the Sydney Opera House which looks over the harbour.
Your poster for February 8 also features the two women who will collide in the co-main event of the night as strawweight champion Zhang Weili faces Tatiana Suarez in a fight that fans have wanted to see for a long time.
It's rare to see an event take place in Australia without any talent from this region of the world being on the promotional material.
However, both Du Plessis and Strickland have recently fought in Australia and the middleweight title has become a fixture of the PPV events that take place down under.
Following the holiday and new year period, this week sees the UFC machine kick back into gear with regular events and travel destinations to look forward to.
