Insiders report Du Plessis vs Usman fight in development amid Borralho callout

Multiple insiders have reported that a fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. This comes amid a public exchange 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 suggested he could post the footage, while Borralho responded by telling Du Plessis to sign a contract. Du Plessis dismissed Borralho's challenge, questioning why the Brazilian thought his name was even part of contract negotiations and challenged him to visit the gym, which is 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, Shavkat Rakhmonov reportedly concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over a year and a half.
