UFC 312 predictions, odds, best bets: Dricus du Plessis, pair of props among top picks to consider
Du Plessis won their first fight, taking a narrow split decision at UFC 297 to capture the championship. He followed up that victory by defeating Israel Adesanya by submission at UFC 304. Strickland bounced back from the defeat by taking a split decision win over Paulo Costa to position himself for a chance to regain the belt.
