There is now one official date and location on the UFC schedule for 2025.
UFC 312 is official for Qudos Bank Arena on Feb. 8 (Feb. 9 local) in Sydney, the promotion announced Wednesday. No fight revelations coincided with the announcement.
The event marks the second of three pay-per-views as part of a deal between the promotion and New South Wales Government in May 2023 to bring three UFC pay-per-view events to Sydney between 2023 and 2027.
The first event of that deal was UFC 293 in September 2023. That event was headlined by Sean Strickland’s title fight upset%20at%20UFC%20293.) over then-champion Israel Adesanya. The card was the first in Sydney since 2017.
No other events have been revealed for the UFC’s 2025 schedule, though fighters have referenced a potential Jan. 18 pay-per-view in the Los Angeles area. Additionally, a Jan. 11 event has been rumored for the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
2/8 - 2/9 lol

Hence why the 2 dates
The first few fights booked for UFC 312 have now been revealed as the promotion plots a return to Sydney, Australia on Feb. 8.
Among the fights announced, Jimmy Crute makes his return to action for the first time in over a year as he takes on Marcin Prachnio in a light heavyweight bout.
Crute hasn’t fought since 2023 when his record fell to 0-3-1 over four fights and he decided to take an extended break from action before making his return. As for Prachnio, he also looks to bounce back from a loss in his most recent outing while trying to gain some momentum following a 4-3 run over his past seven fights in the UFC.
Undefeated prospect Rei Tsuruya also returns in Australia when he puts his perfect 10-0 record on the line against Stewart Nicoll.
Also announced for the card, local favorite Quillan Salkilld makes his octagon debut against Anshul Jubli, who looks to bounce back after suffering a loss to Mike Breeden during his most recent appearance back in October 2023.
UFC 312 goes down from Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney with a main event still to be announced for the card. Several locals have called for fights in Australia including former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski as he looks to get back in the win column following his loss to Ilia Topuria this past February.
now we get to hear Sean bitch about being given an unearned title shot because its in a country he doesnt like. 
Strickland fucking sucks and doesn’t deserve a title shot.
I hope Strickland beats him again.
