UFC 297: Strickland vs. du Plessis was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on January 20, 2024, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[2]

Background

L'evento marca la settima visita della promozione a Toronto e prima da UFC 231 nel Dicembre 2018.[2]

Un incontro valido per la cintura dei Pesi Medi UFC tra l'attuale campione Sean Strickland e l'ex campione Pesi Welter KSW Dricus du Plessis guidava l'evento.

Durante l'evento si è tenuto l'incontro per il titolo UFC dei Pesi Gallo femminili.[3] Il titolo è stato lasciato vacante quando l'ex campionessa Amanda Nunes ha annunciato il suo ritiro subito dopo la difesa di quest'ultimo a UFC 289.[4]

Durante questo evento si sarebbe dovuto svolgere l'incontro per il titolo dei Pesi Piuma UFC tra l'attuale campione Alexander Volkanovski e Ilia Topuria.[5] Tuttavia, Volkanovski è stato invece sottratto dall'evento per affrontare Islam Makhachev per il titolo dei Pesi Leggeri UFC at UFC 294.[6] Come risultato, questo incontro è stato posticipato di un mese per guidare l'evento UFC 298.[7]

Un rivincita nei peri Mediomassimi tra l'ex campione KSW e UFC Jan Błachowicz e Aleksandar Rakić avrebbe dovuto tenersi durante l'evento.[8] I due si erano precedentemente scontrati a UFC on ESPN: Błachowicz vs. Rakić dove Blachowicz vinse la lotta contro Rakić dopo che esso venne dichiarato incapace di continuare in seguito ad un infortunio al ginocchio.[9] Tuttavia, Błachowicz si è ritirato a causa di un infortunio alla spalla e l'incontro è stato annullato.[10]

Un incontro nei pesi Mediomassimi tra l'ex contendente al titolo Dominick Reyes e Carlos Ulberg era previsto per questo evento.[11] Tuttavia, verso la fine di Dicembre 2023, è stato annunciato che l'incontro era sospeso a causa di un infortunio subito da Ulberg.[12] L'incontro è stato dunque riprogrammato per UFC Fight Night: Brady vs. Luque due mesi dopo.[13]

Alla cerimonia del peso, Ramon Taveras e Malcolm Gordon hanno mancato il peso. Taveras pesava 139.75 pounds (63,5 kg), 3¾ pounds sopra il limite di peso per incontri non titolati dei Peso Gallo. Gordon pesava 127.5 pounds (57,8 kg) , 1½ pounds sopra il limite di peso per incontri non titolati Pesi Mosca. Gli incontri si sono svolti in una categoria di peso accordata, con la sottrazione a Taveras del 30% del suo guadagno e a Gordon del 20%, che sono stati incassati rispettivamente dai loro avversari Serhiy Sidey e Jimmy Flick.[14]

Prima dell'inizio dell'evento, il presidente UFC Dana White ha annunciato che l'evento aveva stabilito un nuovo record di incassi nella storia dell'UFC e del Canada.[15] Durante la trasmissione dell'evento, l'ex campione Pesi Leggeri Frankie Edgar è stato annunciato come nuovo "modern wing" UFC Hall of Fame durante l'International Fight Week festivities di Giugno a Las Vegas.[16]
