Strickland vs. du Plessis: A Battle for Middleweight Supremacy
On Saturday night, Sean Strickland will step into the octagon at UFC 297 to prove that his middleweight championship-winning performance against Israel Adesanya was no fluke. His opponent, Dricus du Plessis, is a top contender looking to make a statement of his own. This highly anticipated main event will take place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Strickland’s journey to the title shot was unexpected. When du Plessis was unable to face Adesanya in September, Strickland seized the opportunity and shocked the MMA world with a dominant victory. Meanwhile, du Plessis earned his shot at the belt with an impressive second-round TKO of former champion Robert Whittaker.
In addition to the Strickland vs. du Plessis clash, the card features a thrilling matchup for the women’s bantamweight title. Mayra Bueno Silva and Raquel Pennington will go head-to-head to claim the vacant championship, following the retirement of Amanda Nunes, a true legend of women’s MMA.
Stay tuned as CBS Sports brings you live updates and highlights from UFC 297, starting with the main card at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV. The preliminary bouts will kick off at 8 p.m. ET.
