Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just one day away from the upcoming UFC 312 pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event on ESPN+, scheduled for this Sat. night (Feb. 8, 2025) at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. UFC 312 will be headlined by the middleweight title fight pitting reigning 185-pound kingpin, Dricus Du Plessis, against former division titleholder, Sean Strickland, a five-round showdown that follows the strawweight collision between current champion, Zhang Weili, and undefeated contender, Tatiana Suarez.
But before they can fight, they must first weigh in.
The UFC 312 early (and official) weigh ins will stream LIVE from the promotion’s host hotel in the embedded video above, starting promptly at 11 p.m. ET. The festivities are expected to last roughly two hours but could end much earlier depending on how quickly all 26 fighters get to the scale. Remember, the promotion will also stage the UFC 312 ceremonial weigh ins — complete with fighter staredowns — live from Qudos Bank Arena at 3:30 a.m. ET HERE.
