Caio Borralho desires to welcome Dricus du Plessis back to the Octagon. The Brazilian has flown to South Africa to call out \u2018StillKnocks\u2019, who offered him the possibility to squash their beef outside of the UFC. <\/p>\n

Dricus du Plessis offers to spar Caio Borralho<\/h2>\n

On Monday, #5-ranked middleweight contender Caio Borralho shared a video of himself in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201c4 callouts, no answer\u2026 so I got here to Johannesburg myself,\u201d he captioned the post. <\/p>\n

\u201cWHERE ARE YOU, BOY?\u00a0@dricusduplessis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within the clip, Borralho talks to a statue about his pursuit of a fight with South Africa\u2019s biggest MMA star. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is Dricus? Do where he’s? No words from him,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be in Brazil, and now I\u2019m here on the lookout for Dricus. I\u2019m in Johannesburg, South Africa, and I just cannot find him. No response.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borralho got the response he was after when Du Plessis left a message in his comment section. <\/p>\n

\u201cCome to\u00a0@cit_performanceinstitute,\u00a0then we spar. We are able to record it if you happen to want,\u201d the ex-185lb titleholder wrote. <\/p>\n

Borralho seemingly turned down the sparring offer by pushing for an actual fight within the UFC. <\/p>\n

\u201cStop being just a little kid, just sign the contract, bro,\u201d he replied. <\/p>\n

Du Plessis shut down talk of an actual fight, while once more offering Borralho the possibility to face him during his trip to South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat contract?\u201d DDP wrote back. \u201cYou truly think you\u2019re within the conversation? <\/p>\n

\u201cCome to the gym, I\u2019m like a 30 [minute] drive from you, let\u2019s see if you happen to\u2019re a minimum of man enough to indicate up, we start at 9AM Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n
