Final Preventing Championship (UFC) will maintain a particular pre-fight press convention at present (Thurs., Feb. 6, 2025), LIVE at 2 a.m. ET that includes the highest stars from the upcoming UFC 312 pay-per-view (PPV) combat card. UFC 312 takes place this Sat. evening (Feb. 8) at Qudos Financial institution Enviornment in Sydney, Australia, and will probably be headlined by the middleweight title combat pitting reigning 185-pound kingpin, Dricus Du Plessis, in opposition to former division titleholder, Sean Strickland, a five-round showdown that follows the strawweight title combat between present 155-pound champion, Zhang Weili, and undefeated division contender, Tatiana Suarez.
“I used to be so into the game — I watched combat motion pictures and I all the time tried these submissions,” Du Plessis mentioned on the MightyCast present. “‘By no means Again Down’ was a film that got here out after I was 14. That was the film that motivated me to grow to be an expert fighter. I used to be like, ‘That is the good factor ever. The man is thrashing up his enemy, he’s getting the recent woman. That is it… I wanna do that.’ That sparked a part and it simply by no means went away.”
I’m glad he didn’t learn our assessment of By no means Again Down or we’d have by no means seen “Stillknocks” contained in the Octagon.
