Dricus du Plessis challenges Caio Borralho to spar after call-out in South Africa

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus du Plessis, but the champion responded by inviting him to spar at his gym. Du Plessis told Borralho he could film and post the sparring sessions if he wanted. When Borralho suggested du Plessis sign a contract instead, the South African questioned why Borralho's name would even be part of contract negotiations and challenged him to come to the gym, which was only 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, some insiders have reported that a fight between du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. The post also notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over 18 months.
