UFC 312 has a brilliant main event and a good co main event, but besides that all the top New Zealand and Australian fighters aren’t on the card, here’s how a “saved card” could look like.
Main event
Dricus du plessis🇿🇦 vs Sean Strickland🇺🇸 (confirmed)
Co main event
Zhang weili🇨🇳 vs Tatiana Suarez🇺🇸 (confirmed)
Featured bout
Geoff Neal🇺🇸 vs Carlos prates🇧🇷
Prates daughter lives in Australia and he has said he really wants to fight on this card, he called our JDM but that won’t happen he also called out Geoff Neal and that could definitely happen.
Main card bout
Henry cejudo🇺🇸 vs Song yadong🇨🇳
Cejudo is fighting a top ranked bantamweight in February/march. Rumours are that it’s either sandhagen or yadong. Yadong is an Asian fighter so close to Australia and this could happen at 312.
Main card opener
Tai tuivasa🇦🇺 vs Kennedy nzechukwu🇺🇸🇳🇬
Bam bam is a fan favourite especially at home, 5 losses in a row tho and this could be his final chance, against someone who isn’t a grappler, nzechukwu fought at 310 but if he could make a quick turnaround, make this.
