UFC 312 is scheduled to go down at Qudos Bank Arena. 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 premium events to Sydney between 2023 and 2027.
The first event of that deal was UFC 293 in September 2023. That card was headlined by Sean Strickland’s title fight upset over then-champion Israel Adesanya. The card was the first in Sydney since 2017.
