Du Plessis and Strickland run it back after a close encounter in their first fight at UFC 297 this past January, which saw Du Plessis earn a split nod to take the 185-pound title from Strickland. Both fighters were successful in their second appearances of 2024, with Du Plessis submitting Israel Adesanya and Strickland outpointing Paulo Costa, setting up their grudge match in Australia.
In the co-main event, Zhang puts her title on the line against the undefeated Suarez. Zhang has been a dominant champion and is currently in her second reign, while Suarez hopes to finally ascend to the top of the mountain after injuries hindered her progress for the past few years.
