Du Plessis vs Usman fight in negotiations; heated social media exchange with Borralho

Multiple insiders report that a fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is in development. This comes amid a public confrontation between Du Plessis and Caio Borralho, who traveled to South Africa to challenge the champion. Du Plessis invited Borralho to spar at his gym and post the footage, while Borralho demanded Du Plessis sign a contract. Du Plessis responded by questioning why Borralho's name would even be in negotiations and challenged him to visit the gym. Meanwhile, Shavkat Rakhmonov concerned fans with a rehabilitation video showing him far from fighting shape, having been out of the cage for over a year and a half.
