Caio Borralho challenges Dricus Du Plessis in South Africa, sparking social media exchange

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge Dricus Du Plessis to a fight, prompting a heated social media exchange between the two middleweights. Du Plessis invited Borralho to come spar at his gym and offered to post the footage, while Borralho responded by 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 any negotiations and challenged him to show up at the gym, which he claimed was 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, several insiders have reported that a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is in development. The post also notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov has concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over 18 months.
