Dricus Du Plessis and Caio Borralho exchange callouts in South Africa

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, sparking a heated social media exchange. Du Plessis responded by inviting Borralho to spar at his gym and potentially post the footage online. Borralho dismissed the offer and urged Du Plessis to sign a contract instead. Du Plessis questioned why Borralho believes he's being considered for a title shot and challenged him to show up to the gym. Meanwhile, multiple insiders reported that a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. Shavkat Rakhmonov also concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having been out for over 18 months.
