Caio Borralho travels to South Africa to confront Dricus Du Plessis

Middleweight contender Caio Borralho flew to South Africa in an apparent effort to locate UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis, claiming the champion has not been responding to his callouts. Du Plessis responded immediately on social media, inviting the Brazilian to his gym for a sparring session on Friday morning at 9 a.m., with an offer to film it. Du Plessis dismissed Borralho's title aspirations, saying his name is not being discussed as a potential next opponent. Borralho replied by urging Du Plessis to simply sign a fight contract instead of acting like a child. The exchange highlights Borralho's aggressive pursuit of a title shot and Du Plessis's skepticism about his credentials.
