DDP and Borralho exchange callouts, with insiders reporting Usman bout in works

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis, who responded by inviting the Brazilian to spar at his gym and post the footage. The exchange escalated on social media, with Borralho calling for Du Plessis to sign a contract and the champion questioning why Borralho believes he's in title negotiations. Du Plessis challenged Borralho to show up at his gym, which is 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, multiple insiders have reported that a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed, suggesting Borralho may not be next in line. The post also notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov worried fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over 18 months.
