The UFC’s return to Australia in February will be top-heavy with a pair of title fights.
Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) wanted a title defense against Khamzat Chimaev, but instead it will be a rematch against former champ Sean Strickland (29-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC), whom he beat to win the title earlier this year.
