Now that UFC 311 is in the books, fans can focus their attention on the second pay-per-view of 2025; Planned for just a few weeks on Saturday 8 February.
That event, which takes place in Australia, will be led by a middleweight Title Rematch between Drus Du Plessis and division former champion, Sean Strickland.
Prior to their long-awaited wreck issue, has Strickland now demanded that the South African corresponds to its latest range of a 'men's agreement' but is it accepted?

Sean Strickland offers new 'pact' to du plessis for UFC 312
UFC 312 will be received by the long-awaited Rematch between Du Plessis and Strickland, with the South African currently 1-0 higher after they got the nod in their razor-close first fight in 2024.
If Strickland will demand his revenge on 8 February, he must keep the fight firmly within his preferred domain, at the feet, in which Du Plessis used his wrestling skills in his most recent title victory on Israel Adesanya.
In an attempt to move the South African in a Slugfest, Strickland has now offered a new 'men's agreement' to the reigning middleweight champion.
“Listen Dutch, I need you to be to be. ** Save as men, “he explained through full violence.
“I know you like to struggle, and you like to choke people and do what G ** S *** guy … but I will make a pact with you; You make a pact with me, that we get up like F ****** men and we arrange this s *** as men. “
Du Plessis still has to respond to Strickland's offer from a 'pact', although we doubt that 'stillknocks' will be triggered in a stand-and-bang-type combat-especially with its ultimate goal in MMA that is so close.
UFC 312: Du Plessis vs Strickland will go off in just a few weeks, but what do two of their former opponents think about their incoming rematch?
Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker discuss UFC 312 Title Fight
Ex-mid-weight champions Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker do not have the best records against DDP or Strickland, with a combined record of 0-3.
Whittaker and Adesanya trained together prior to the return of the Last Stylebender to action on UFC Fight Night: Saudi Arabia and recently sat down for a conversation about the UFC 312 Main Event.
“Although Sean will certainly try to walk down again, the only thing about Dricus is [that he’s] Just as uncomfortable, “Adesanya explained, via the MMarcade Podcast.
“He's just strange man, he is like the best S *** hunter in the world, he is so good that I can't even consider him for it.”
In turn, Whittaker argued that he does not see the second fight going in a different way than the first; Wondering whether Strickland has the opportunity to adapt to the strange fighting style of Dricus du Plessis.
“People will argue with me and say it was controversial anyway, and I thought so, but that was when he was still champion, and he still lost a controversial [decision] To the challenger.
“I don't see Sean fighting in any other way, so Sean is fighting and so Dryus is fighting – I don't know, maybe Dricus gets more removals because he had quite enough, but to be honest, I just don't see how Sean something Differences to win.
