UFC 297 Results & Highlights: Sean Strickland vs. Dricus Du Plessis

The UFC's first 2024 PPV is upon us, and with it comes a deceptively good fight card. There's bad blood in the headliner as hot-headed middleweights Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis fight for the title, and the vacant women's bantamweight title is up for grabs in the co-main.

As well as this, top featherweight prospect Arnold Allen looks to halt the surging Movsar Evloev, an undefeated Russian on a collision course with title contention.

Once the event is live, we will be covering the results and providing video highlights, so stay tuned.
