Multiple insiders report that a fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is in development. This comes after Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Du Plessis, leading to a social media exchange where the champion invited Borralho to spar at his gym. Borralho responded by telling Du Plessis to sign a contract, while Du Plessis questioned why Borralho's name would be in any negotiations. The post also notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov has been out of action for over a year and a half, and that he recently concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition.
