UFC 312 is light on value, especially compared to UFC 311, but the co-main event is solid. UFC women's strawweight champion Zhang Weili makes the third defense of her second title reign against Tatiana Suarez. "The Ultimate Fighter 23" winner Suarez was labeled a future champion out of the gate, but frequent injuries delayed the inevitable.

In the main event of UFC 312 tomorrow night the middleweight title is on the line in a rematch. Champion Dricus Du Plessis (22-2) will look to successfully defend his title for the second time as he faces off against the man he defeated to become middleweight champion, Sean Strickland (29-6).
