The UFC middleweight title will be on the line when current UFC’s middleweight champion Sean Strickland and challenger Dricus Du Plessis fight at UFC 297, scheduled to happen on January 20th, 2024, which will also mark the first PPV event of the UFC in 2024. Mayra Bueno Silva will take on Raquel Pennington for the women’s bantamweight title. Sean Strickland rose to fame after defeating former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Now he will be defending his title for the first time against the fighter who was supposed to fight Israel Adesanya before Sean Strickland was selected as the opponent.

Dricus du Plessis pulled himself from the title fight against Israel Adesanya at UFC 293 owing to an injury, and then Sean Strickland stepped into the title fight and shocked the fans to become the middleweight champion. Dricus, on the other hand, has been an impressive fighter so far, and the fight could go either way when they meet in the cage. Mayra Bueno Silva has been undefeated so far in the bantamweight division and is planning to knock out Raquel Pennington before the fifth round to become the bantamweight champion.

Apart from the exciting main and co-main events, there are more fights scheduled as preliminary cards. Here are the complete details of the bouts, but the order is still to be determined.
