Caio Borralho has wanted to fight Dricus Du Plessis for years.
Even now that āDDPā is no longer Middleweight kingpin, Borralho is still chasing that fight. In fact, the No. 5-ranked contender Borralho flew all the way to South Africa to find āStillknocksā if multiple social media posts are to be believed. ā4 callouts, no answer,ā Borralho wrote. āSo I came to Johannesburg myself.ā
āWhere is Dricus?ā Borralho asks a statue in Johannesburg, South Africa. āDo you know where he is? No words from him. I was in Brazil, and now Iām here looking for Dricus ⦠I just cannot find him. No response.ā
In fact, Borralho did receive a response in the comments. On both posts, Du Plessis commented to invite Borralho to come to his gym and spar in person.
āCome toĀ @cit_performanceinstituteĀ then we spar we can record it if you want,ā Du Plessis offered in response.
To which Borralho replied, āStop being a little kid, just sign the contract bro.ā
Obviously, Borralho wants to get an official UFC bout booked and potentially make ground in the 185-pound division with a victory. Du Plessis, however, claims that no such contract has been sent and renewed his offer of a gym scrap.
āWhat contract?ā Du Plessis wrote back. āYou actually think youāre in the conversation? Come to the gym Iām like a 30 [minute] drive from you, letās see if youāre at least man enough to show up, we start at 9AM Friday.ā
Caio Borralho has wanted to fight Dricus Du Plessis for years and is determined to confront him directly after receiving no response to his callouts.
Caio Borralho traveled to Johannesburg, South Africa, to search for Dricus Du Plessis after multiple unsuccessful attempts to get a response from him.
Caio Borralho is currently ranked No. 5 in the UFC middleweight division.

Though his one-sided loss to Khamzat Chimaev was about eight months ago, Du Plessis remains unbooked. He was briefly rumored to face Brendan Allen in Miami, but āAll Inā wound up matched versus Edmen Shahbazyan instead. Of all the available contenders, Borralho makes more sense then most, though he could still be sidelined in favor of Allen or even Nassourdine Imavov.
Either way, the Middleweight crown will be on the line when Khamzat and Sean Strickland face off next weekend at UFC 328. Both Borralho and Du Plessis want to be in the conversation for the next title shot, which requires another high-profile win for either man.
