The UFC middleweight title once again changed hands Saturday when Dricus Du Plessis dethroned Sean Strickland in the UFC 297 main event.
It was the fourth time in the past four 185-pound title bouts that a new champion has been crowned. Du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) narrowly edged Strickland (28-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) by split decision at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto to become the first South African titleholder in company history.
