Dricus Du Plessis vs Kamaru Usman confirmed by training team

The CIT Performance Institute, where Dricus Du Plessis trains, has confirmed a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman through their social media channels. This represents a major middleweight matchup between the current champion Du Plessis and former welterweight champion Usman, who has been campaigning for fights at 185 pounds. The post indicates the official announcement is still pending. The team's confirmation suggests the fight is locked in, though UFC has not yet made a formal public announcement. This would mark Usman's continued push into the middleweight division.
