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]

A UFC Featherweight Championship bout between current champion Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria was expected to take place at this event.[6] However, Volkanovski was instead pulled to face Islam Makhachev for the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 294.[7] As a result, this fight was pushed back one month to headline UFC 298.[8]

A light heavyweight rematch between former KSW and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Błachowicz and Aleksandar Rakić was expected to take place at the event.[9] The pairing previously met at UFC on ESPN: Błachowicz vs. Rakić where Blachowicz won the fight after Rakić was rendered unable to continue due to a knee injury.[10] However, Błachowicz withdrew due to a shoulder injury and the bout was scrapped.[11]

A light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg was scheduled for this event.[12] However, in late December 2023, it was announced that match was off due to an injury sustained by Ulberg.[13] They were rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Brady vs. Luque two months later.[14]

At the weigh-ins, Ramon Taveras and Malcolm Gordon missed weight. Taveras weighed in at 139.75 pounds, three and three quarters pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit. Gordon weighed in at 127.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. Both bouts proceeded at catchweight with Taveras forfeiting 30% and Gordon 20% of their purses, which went to their opponents Serhiy Sidey and Jimmy Flick respectively.[15]
