Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis, but the middleweight champion responded by inviting him to spar at his gym and post the footage. Borralho replied telling Du Plessis to "stop acting like a child" and sign a contract. Du Plessis fired back questioning why Borralho thinks his name is even part of contract negotiations and challenged him to show courage by actually coming to the gym, which was 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, insiders reported that a fight between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. The post also mentioned that Shavkat Rakhmonov concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over 18 months.
