"I been calling this guy out since my second fight in the UFC. I think I called him out three or four times. And he tweeted something like, 'Go get two more wins and then we can talk about it.' I got eight wins now, brother, where are you? Big respect for you, you are a great athlete, great fighter. You were a great champion, very dominant. But I want to test myself against you, so let's f--ing go, brother."
"100%, after I beat him I'm next in line. Then I can avenge my loss if Imavov is the champion."
Caio Borralho earned his eighth UFC victory with a dominant unanimous decision win over Reinier de Ridder at UFC 326 in Las Vegas, showcasing superior striking and well-rounded skills. Following the victory, Borralho called out former middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, whom he has pursued since his second UFC fight. Borralho notes that Du Plessis previously requested he accumulate more wins before fighting. With eight UFC victories now achieved, Borralho believes defeating Du Plessis would secure him a title shot, potentially allowing him to avenge his previous loss to Nassourdine Imavov in a championship bout.
