Dricus du Pessis successfully defended the championship.
South African Dricus du Pessis Retained the Central Series Championship Belt at UFC 312 night in Sydney.
Du Plessis won the US Sean Strickland All the judge. In a five -round title match, a passive Strickland cooled towards the end, while Du Pessis pressed the gas.
Known for his wild style, the champion flashed his turning beats and was effective in Strickland’s dome.
However, cosmetically the worst trace was made by the Du Plessis back hook. He pulled it straight into Strickland’s nose. The picture shared by ESPN showed that Strickland’s nose became quite music.
For the second time in a row, du Pessis managed to defend his belt. Strickland lost the title of Central Series to the South African in the first meeting of the duo a year ago. At that time, the result was a dispersed judgment.
The next challenger is Du Plessisis to be planned Hamzat Chemayev.
In the second main match of the UFC 312, the stake was the women’s championship belt in the women’s corset. Chinese Weili Zhang did not give Tatiana Suárezin rise to the throne, but won by a unanimous judge decision.
For Zhang, a successful championship defense was already the third consecutive. The belt has remained with Chinese hips since November 2022.
