UFC 297 is right around the corner, and Conor McGregor is hyped for all the blockbuster fights that have been lined up on the fight card. The Irishman recently shared a video on social media showing the event’s headliners, Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis, facing off and expressed his excitement in the caption.
The first pay-per-view event of 2024 is set to go down this weekend at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. The event will be headlined by a middleweight title fight between Strickland and du Plessis. Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva will go up against each other in the co-main event.
In a recent post on X, Conor McGregor reacted to a video showing Strickland and du Plessis facing off after their pre-fight press conference. Lauding the UFC middleweight strap as a “coveted” title, he wrote:
“One hell of a main event fight and card lined up for the fans this Saturday! USA vs. SA for the middleweight gold, live from Canada. Forever a coveted title, the 185lb @ufc belt. On a roll with back to back to back mega events now right through the summer we are! Let’s go @ufc.”
UFC 297 will also feature a welterweight bout between Neil Magny and Mike Mallot. Elsewhere on the card, Arnold Allen will face Movsar Evloev in a featherweight contest, and Chris Curtis will face Marc-Andre Barriault in a middleweight bout.
