UFC 312 fight week is here, and so are the mind games. But this time, it’s not just the usual trash talk making headlines—it’s Sean Strickland’s latest fight week portrait.
According to a post shared by Dricus Du Plessis on his Instagram story, “What? He grew taller and added staph infection his arsenal… O sh—!”. The image and reaction were also shared on Instagram by ‘The Mac Life’ official account, as well.
Now, the question looms—could this impact the UFC 312 main event? Staph infections are no joke, especially in a high-stakes fight like this. But so far, there’s been no official word from the UFC or Strickland himself about any issues leading up to the bout.
This rematch has been over a year in the making. Strickland first claimed UFC gold in Australia when he shocked Israel Adesanya. Though he lost the belt soon after, he rebounded with a dominant performance over Paulo Costa. Now, he’s hungry to reclaim his throne.
On the other side, Du Plessis is out to prove he’s the rightful champion. He’s undefeated in the UFC and riding an 11-fight win streak. But with staph rumors swirling, will the fight go on as planned? Or is UFC 312 about to take an unexpected turn?
