Dricus Du Plessis and Caio Borralho exchange callouts; Usman fight rumored

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, who responded by inviting him to spar at his gym and offered to let Borralho post the footage. Borralho dismissed this as childish behavior and urged Du Plessis to sign a contract. Du Plessis questioned why Borralho thinks he's even being considered for a title shot and challenged him to actually show up at the gym, which was reportedly only 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, multiple insiders have reported that a fight between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. The post also notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov posted rehabilitation footage that concerned fans, as he appeared far from fighting condition and hasn't competed in over a year and a half.
