SYDNEY — Check out UFC 312 open workout highlights video above, featuring UFC champions Dricus du Plessis and Zhang Weili, plus strawweight title challenger Tatiana Suarez and the returning Jimmy Crute.
Du Plessis thrilled the crowd at the conclusion of his workout, stripping down to his underwear and hurling his shorts into the crowd. The middleweight champion heads into a rematch with Sean Strickland in the main event, over a year after defeating Strickland via split decision at UFC 297 and five months after a dramatic submission of two-time UFC champion Israel Adesanya.
His rival Strickland provided his own excitement at Wednesday’s workouts, going toe-to-toe with a fan in a friendly spar that saw Strickland drop the fan with a body shot at one point.
Also featured Wednesday were Suarez training with her fiancé, Bellator star Patchy Mix, Zhang showing off her championship skills, and Crute greeting his hometown Australian fans ahead of his first fight since July 2023.
