Caio Borralho flew to South Africa in an attempt to get Dricus Du Plessis's attention after the champion allegedly ignored his callouts. Du Plessis responded immediately on social media, inviting Borralho to his gym for a sparring session on Friday at 9 AM and offering to film it. The middleweight champion dismissed Borralho's title aspirations, telling him to "stop acting like a little boy" and questioning whether Borralho's name is even being discussed for the next title shot. Borralho countered by urging Du Plessis to simply sign a contract for a fight. The exchange highlights the tension between the two middleweights as Borralho campaigns for a championship opportunity.
