Caio Borralho challenges Dricus Du Plessis in South Africa; champion responds

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to call out middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis for a title fight. Du Plessis responded by inviting Borralho to spar at his gym and offered to post the footage. Borralho replied telling Du Plessis to "stop acting like a child" and sign the contract. Du Plessis countered by questioning why Borralho assumes he's in title contention and challenged him to show courage by actually showing up to the gym, noting it was only 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, multiple insiders have reported that a fight between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being discussed. In other news, Shavkat Rakhmonov concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over 18 months.
