Brazilian middleweight Caio Borralho flew to South Africa to find Dricus Du Plessis, claiming the champion has been ignoring his callouts. Du Plessis immediately responded by inviting Borralho to spar at his gym on Friday morning at 9 AM, offering to film the session. Du Plessis questioned whether Borralho's name is even being discussed as a potential title challenger. Borralho fired back, telling Du Plessis to stop acting like a child and just sign a contract for a fight. The public exchange escalated tensions between the two fighters.
