After sneaking home to a split decision victory over Sean Strickland on Saturday night at UFC 297, Dricus du Plessis is the new to keep the hot potato of the 185-pound belt. So how long will the first South African champion be able to hold the crown, and who will he face next?Is a rematch on the cards, could Khamzat Chimaev make the leap up or will Israel Adesanya return from self-imposed exile to try and reclaim his former belt? Mail Sport offers an inside peek at what is to come for Du Plessis and Strickland.

In Toronto, Canada, Strickland, who stunned the MMA world by defeating Israel Adesanya in September to win the UFC Middleweight Championship, will face Dr. Du Plessis. On December 16, the match erupted, with Strickland warning audience members to move before attacking the South African.

Whittaker, the No. 1st. Eugene Bareman (inset) believes he should not get another chance as the world's top middleweight has met Adesanya in two championship bouts and fell short on both occasions - and that's why he shouldn't get another chance.

After being choked out following UFC Vegas 78 on Saturday night, both UFC and Jackass star Michael Bisping will have to feel the full power of the ex-MMA fighter. Following the incident, the TV stuntman leapt into the octagon with Bisping and the former UFC Middleweight Champion proceeded to place a chokehold on the 48-year-old. Steve-O is taken down to the mat by Bisping, then lifts a finger to announce he is okay before being knocked out of the manoeuvre. As Bisping announces the hold, he is seen tapping the comedian's chest to bring him back to life and make sure he's ok after losing consciousness.

Cedric Doumbe, PFL's latest signing, has reported that his new contract is worth 'ten times' more than what the team has offered him. Last week, the Professional Fighters League announced the signing of Doumbe to the welterweight roster, as they continue to build a solid lineup of fighters. Prior to joining the PFL, the French fighter had been booked to compete in a UFC Paris tournament at the end of last year.

Israel Adesanya may have lost all three fights with Alex Pereira, including kickboxing and MMA, but the betting favorite makes his way to UFC 287. Many believe he won their first battle and point to the fact that he was ahead in the upcoming two, before the tough Brazilian found the finishes he needed. And now UFC fighters are split on how the Miami match will be decided. Pereira's wealth and mental advantage over Adesanya could sway the opinion in his direction, but a fully motivated 'Stylebender' with the necessary experience and technique is a risky proposition.

Israel Adesanya must be sick of seeing Alex Pereira by now, the man many are calling his 'bogeyman' and 'kryptonite.' With five consecutive title defenses, the former UFC middleweight champion ruled the roost so dominantly in his division before rematching with his old nemesis last year. Pereira won two games over Adesanya in the kickboxing competition, with one of them falling short of a point of view, but many others were genuinely hoping for a shot at the champ, purely because it fit a tidy story. He sent those doubts and Adesanya in a bulldozing style to take their belt in the fifth round of their November match.

During a mass brawl at a boxing match, Marvin Vettori was caught on camera punching Italian rapper and boxer Omar Nigue Ilunga.

Iuri Lapicus, a MMA fighter, died after a motorcycle accident in Italy that left him in a three-day coma.

The 27-year-old was in a coma when police and ambulance personnel arrived on the scene, having been thrown several meters by the force of the accident.

According to Marvin Vettori, Alex Pereira is the kryptonite for Israel Adesanya and will face him in a rematch. The 'Italian Dream', who has fallen short of Adesanya twice, claims that the Brazilian champion has the 'Stylebender's number.' At UFC 281 last December, the 'Poatan' stopped the previously dominant champion from UFC 281. At the time, he was behind on the scorecards but in the fifth and final round, he burstled blows. Pereira received heavy punishment and ordered the referee to act, putting an end to Adesanya's reign.

Paulo Costa's current UFC deal is only one fight remaining, but he is in no rush to re-sign and is eager to become a free agent after being refused a new multi-fight deal. Borrachinha confessed that after his deal with the UFC, he was looking forward to a long time as a free agent, but that only one fight remains, which is not financially representative of his abilities. Costa is currently the No. 6 ranked middleweight, but only received $28,500) ($30,000) for fighting Italian Marvin Vettori back in 2021.

Khamzat Chimev is the UFC's latest super villain, and he has no problem living up to the role. In the first round of their co-main event in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the fearless Chechen-born actor obliterated Kevin Holland in yet another bizarre display of his talent. Much of the story revolved around Chimaev, who lost weight for his match against Nate Diaz by seven pounds, resulting in a massive shake-up of the card at the last minute.

After UFC Paris on Saturday night, Robert Whittaker and Ciryl Gane shared a happy moment backstage. Both men emerged victorious from their respective fights, with Whittaker beating Italian Marvin Vettorri in the co-main event before Gane defeated Tai Tuivasa by TKO in front of a home audience. Despite the Frenchman's victory over Whittaker's compatriot Tuivasa, there was no love lost between the two fighters when they first met face to face after the tournament.

As the promotion makes a long-awaited debut in front of a new audience, UFC France has been stacked to the teeth with top quality combats. In the main event, French fans who have been championed of top quality MMA for years will be treated to hometown hero Ciryl Gane against Tai Tuivasa on Saturday night. Gane will be carrying the burden or increased energy of Accor Arena's screaming him on, but the Australian will not be concerned about being in an enemy zone. The tenacity of this war has escalated by a factor or two. Firstly, the power vacuum in the heavyweight division is giving the UFC a headache. In January, Francis Ngannou's victory over Gane was the worst-case scenario for the company.
