UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis has spoken out about his rematch with former belt holder Sean Strickland, which takes place on Feb. 9 at UFC 312 in Sydney, Australia.

"I was a title challenger in the first fight and it was exciting. I like the pressure, but in the first two rounds I acted for sure. Because it's a title fight. You can't go out there and put everything on the line.

I was much better in the fight with Adesanya. And I'm going to be even better this time. I have everything to finish this fight early," Strickland said in an interview with FOX Sports Australia.

Recall that in the first fight of these fighters, held in January, Du Plessis won a split decision of judges.
