Caio Borralho challenges Dricus du Plessis in South Africa, champion responds

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis, who responded by inviting him to spar at his gym. Du Plessis told Borralho he could film and post the sparring sessions if he wished, escalating the exchange. When Borralho told du Plessis to sign a contract, the champion questioned why Borralho believed he was even part of title fight negotiations. Du Plessis then challenged Borralho to come to his gym, which was 30 minutes away, to prove his courage. Meanwhile, multiple insiders have reported that UFC is working on developing a bout between du Plessis and Kamaru Usman instead.
