UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and contender Caio Borralho engaged in a heated social media exchange. Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Du Plessis, who responded by inviting him to spar at his gym and offering to post the footage. Borralho countered by calling Du Plessis childish and demanding he sign a contract. Du Plessis fired back questioning why Borralho believes he is even being considered for a title shot, and challenged him to come to the gym since he was only 30 minutes away. Amid this public back-and-forth, multiple insiders reported that a fight between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. The post also noted that Shavkat Rakhmonov posted rehabilitation footage that concerned fans, as he appeared far from fighting condition and has not competed in over 18 months.
